Svetlana Radosavac

I am a data scientist with background in machine learning, network security and fraud detection. My current interests lie in the areas of cyber security, graph neural networks, graph databases, building machine learning pipelines and general machine learning model orchestration.

My expertise is a mix of machine learning and software skills. I have been responisble for delivering machine learning models as well as designing machine learning pipelines, PySpark pipelines, developing and deploying Python packages, desiging Jenkins CI/CD jobs for package and model release, developing MLFlow and Airflow pipelines.
