Thom Bauer

Hi, I’m Thom, a Data Scientist and Product Owner with a master’s degree in Sociology and Psychology, and advanced certifications in Data Science and Machine Learning. I’m passionate about emerging technologies and continually expanding my skill set. With a strong background in teaching coding and data concepts, I’m always eager to learn and grow.

With over 10+ years of management experience as a Team Lead, Head of IT Operations, and Head of Data Analytics, I focus on customer-centricity and clear communication as key drivers of success. I’ve always prioritized Customer Satisfaction and Experience Management, both in my leadership roles and product development.

Over my 20+ years as a coder and analyst, I’ve mastered various programming languages and tools. I’m constantly exploring new techniques to improve efficiency and future-proof my approach.

As a Data Scientist, I specialize in building Machine Learning models that enhance customer experiences and automate text processing for streamlined workflows. At the intersection of Data Science and Social Sciences, I’m working with explainable AI (xAI) to ensure transparent, human-friendly decision-making in automated systems.

In addition to my hands-on experience, I am also passionate about sharing knowledge. I have had the privilege of presenting at congresses and conferences, lecturing in university programs and leading practical training sessions for non-technical professionals.

I possess advanced expertise in Python and Tableau, with a strong command of R. Currently, I am enhancing my proficiency in PowerBI and generative AI to further broaden my technical capabilities.

As a ML/AI Product Manger I maximize the value of innovative Machine Learning solutions to build the future claims products in the Social Insurance Industry.
