Diplômé en Génie Électrique de l'École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS), j'ai activement participé à l'équipe de Formula Student (Formule ETS). En 2023, j'ai rejoint AWL-ELECTRICITY pour mon stage de fin d'études et j'ai eu l'opportunité d'être l'un des quatre premiers employés à être embauché en tant que concepteur électronique.

Mon expérience au sein du club étudiant m'a permis de rapidement proposer des améliorations organisationnelles. J'ai d'ailleurs rapidement endossé le rôle de Scrum Master et je suis privilégié de pouvoir contribuer aux visions à long, moyen et court terme de l'entreprise.

Ma plus grande source de motivation est l'apprentissage continu. J'apprécie particulièrement les environnements en constante évolution qui exigent une adaptation rapide. En dehors du travail, mes passions incluent le sport (athlétisme, volleyball), la lecture et la musique.

Dr Adam Sroka, Head of Machine Learning Engineering at Origami Energy, is an experienced data and AI leader helping organisations unlock value from data by delivering enterprise-scale solutions and building high-performing data and analytics teams from the ground up. Adam shares his thoughts and ideas through public speaking, tech community events, on his blog, and in his podcast.

Many organisations aren't getting the most out of their data and many data professionals struggle to communicate their results or the complexity and value of their work in a way that business stakeholders can relate to. Being able to understand both the technology and how it translates to real benefits is key.

Simply hiring the most capable people often isn’t enough. The solution is a mix of clear and explicit communication, strong fundamentals and engineering discipline, and an appetite to experiment and iterate to success quickly.

If this is something you’re struggling with - either as an organisation finding its feet with data and AI or as a data professional - the approaches and systems Adam has developed over his career will be able to help so please reach out.

Cutting edge data technologies are redefining every industry and adopting these new ways of working can be difficult and frustrating. One day, there will be best practices and playbooks for how to maximise the value from your data and teams, but until then Adam is eager to share his experiences in both business and data and shed some light on what works.
