About Pedro
Building, managing and empowering high-performing technical teams in Data and Analytics. I have spent more than 10 years delivering high-value use cases across multiple industries, with a solid technical foundation and measurable results. To keep up with the latest technology and research I endeavour to incorporate that into my own work or explore it with consultancy projects on the side where I have been able to work on blockchain, video analysis, sports performance, and mental health diagnosis, among other areas.
My focus on high-value, measurable results and team development led me to head up projects very quickly and ultimately to head up a Data Science and Analytics team of 8 FTEs across the UK and Australia.
