Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Parr is a Senior Data Scientist and founder-turned-practitioner with 11 years’ experience applying machine learning to the energy and environmental sectors. He combines hands-on ML engineering—building price-optimisation models in AWS SageMaker and sklearn—with strong MLOps and agile delivery skills honed in small, cross-functional teams. As founder of engi.ai and head of data at several startups, he has shipped serverless AWS microservices for regression, time series and anomaly detection and accelerated ETL performance using pandas by 10–25x. He pairs domain expertise in energy systems and building environmental design with product instincts from multiple product owner and head-of-product roles. Based in Cardiff, he is comfortable moving between prototype UX work, production ML pipelines and operational monitoring. An early science writer shortlisted by The Guardian, he brings a curious, multidisciplinary perspective to data problems that go beyond pure modelling.
