Career Journey

My career has spanned 5 countries: the United States, Thailand, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Viet Nam.

Previous roles:

Solutions Architect at Databricks — Developed analytics strategies with executives across Central Europe, specializing in data engineering and telecom
MLOps Manager at Delivery Hero (Berlin) — Built MLOps frameworks on GCP
MLOps Lead at True Digital Group (Bangkok) — Led platform operations and analytics initiatives for 3+ years

How I Got Here

My journey began as a Data Scientist at Caterpillar Inc., which led me to Bangkok on an exciting contract with Tata Technologies. Captivated by Thailand’s dynamic culture, I extended my stay for five rewarding years.

In 2022, the arrival of our first child inspired my wife and me to start a new chapter in Germany. After facing a layoff in early 2023, I was fortunate to land a role at Databricks, a leader in data, AI, and generative AI. My connections with exceptional leaders from my time in Thailand eventually opened the door to my current role at Techcombank.

Education

Originally from Clearwater, Florida, I hold:

MSc Mechanical Engineering (Orbital Mechanics) — University of Vermont
BSc Mathematics — University of Tampa
BSc Finance — University of Tampa
