Bio: I am a senior data scientist at King, the game studio behind the world’s top mobile game Candy Crush. Prior to my current role, I worked as a Data Scientist at Embark Studios supporting the development of the games ARC Raiders and The Finals; and before that she spent seven years at DICE (Electronic Arts) as an Advanced Data Analyst where I led the analytical efforts on AAA titles such as the highly acclaimed Battlefield series, Mirror’s Edge and Star Wars Battlefront. My greatest passions in game analytics involve game balancing and matchmaking as well as assessing and tuning gameplay experience. I hold a MSc in Machine Learning from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and a BSc in Computer Science from Athens University of Economics and Business. In my spare time I like playing the clarinet and…obviously video games
