I’ve got some exciting news! I just joined Ataccama as VP of Engineering. It’s time for a new challenge and here’s why I decided to take on this one.

  • Product — During my sabbatical, I had the chance to spend some time on #AI and #machinelearning research. What I learned during this research and discussions with other companies is that 80% of work on machine learning development and deployment comes down to #dataquality, and that’s exactly (some of) what Ataccama does.
  • Challenges — As a passionate triathlete, I love a good challenge. I always need room for growth and to learn new things in any position I take, and the opportunities at Ataccama are endless.
  • Company culture — I was a bit apprehensive about joining a new company during this new era of work from home and zoom calls, but from the very beginning, the Ataccama team made me feel welcome, and I could feel the tight-knit and fun company culture.
  • Strong growth vision and goals — Not only does Ataccama have an extremely ambitious growth vision, but unlike a lot of companies, they actually have the ability to execute it. And this is something I want to be a part of.

I’m looking forward to this new adventure and can’t wait to tackle the challenge of scaling the engineering team and processes. I’ll be looking for lots of smart people who want to grow along with the company (FE, BE, QA, and more). Check out our openings and join me on the new journey
