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.

After a few years working in aerial and train simulation, and finance, I discovered computerized medicine 15 years ago.

I've been working ever since in the field of medical devices and computer assisted medical intervention. The necessity to formally ensure the robustness and correctness of software destined to be used on patients in the operating room dawned on me since the very beginning... A method emerged from my multiple trials and errors.

Today I wish to share the results of this "quest for correctness", discuss the method with you, and see it come to life in other disciplines... Hoping that it will bring serenity and unleash creativity in other designers!
