Hello 👋, I’m Eleftherios 👨🏻‍💻 a data scientist in Rotterdam 🇳🇱

I just finished my MSc Business Analytics & Management at RSM, Erasmus University Rotterdam, where I spent my thesis teaching a model to guess when delivery drivers ignore their planned route. Before that: customs data at the Port of Piraeus, CX design at Deloitte Digital, and a lot of basketball.
