AI Consultant
As one of the pioneering employees at 4Seee, an innovative startup focused on disrupting the bunkering business through AI-powered oil price predictions along shipping routes, I played a vital role in shaping the company’s trajectory during my tenure. As a driven and enthusiastic working student, I started by developing the AI models myself to later help steer a team of data scientists, traders and economists to deliver the most accurate forecasting models possible. This served as my first experience leading a multidiscipline team to its success through my expertise in artificial intelligence products.
Developed a model that consistently reached >65% directional accuracy on the daily forecast. The model was based on economic models, LSTMs and human input for its predictions. In depth analysis of the bunkering business and shipping routes paired with the current capabilities of our models resulted on a strategy model change for the company.
Working at 4Seee allowed me to combine my passion for artificial intelligence, data analysis, and business strategy. I am proud to have played a key role in the early growth stages of the company, contributing to its vision and strategy. My experience at 4Seee not only sharpened my technical and analytical skills but also instilled in me a deep appreciation for innovation and teamwork in the fast-paced world of AI.
