About me

Hello! I’m Leandro Ordóñez, a data engineer and scientist with a Ph.D. in Computer Sciences Engineering from UGent’s IDLab. My passion lies in unlocking the potential of vast, distributed datasets, making them accessible and actionable for businesses and researchers alike.

My journey has taken me from the cutting-edge research environment of IDLab to the dynamic world of tech entrepreneurship. As co-founder of BitBang Company, I’ve had the privilege of helping businesses across South and Central America harness the transformative power of Big Data and Analytics.

Since April 2022, I’ve been applying my expertise as a Data Science Engineer at Yazzoom, a Belgian scale-up based in Ghent. At Yazzoom, we’re at the forefront of leveraging advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence to revolutionize industrial processes, delivering immediate value to our customers while contributing to a more sustainable future. My work involves developing smart software solutions that process real-time sensor data and historical big data, optimizing control systems, and providing data analytics services. Through our AI-for-Industries software product Yanomaly and tailored solutions, we’re helping companies across various industries reduce energy consumption, minimize raw material usage, and eliminate waste.
