Josep Coll Piferrer
Senior AI & Data Product Owner · Barcelona

I turn complex data into AI products that pay their way.

Hi, I'm Josep. For 15+ years I've worked where the UK energy market, corporate systems such as SAP and Kraken, and data meet — first as a solution architect and delivery lead, now shaping AI and data science products at EDF. In my spare time I build games.

What I do

From the business problem to the shipped product.

I start from the root business need, then turn it into a technical proposition that delivers value in the shortest cycle possible.

AI & data products

I define, architect and lead the delivery of AI and data science products on AWS and Snowflake — from a Claude-powered assistant on AWS Bedrock to customer value and EV-detection models.

Solution architecture

SAP IS-U, FI-CA and FICO designs from small changes up to 10,000+ man-day programmes. I know where the data lives, and what it means for the business.

Delivery & teams

Certified Scrum Master. I've led onshore and offshore teams of 10–15, delivered on time and under budget, and built team cultures that care about innovation as much as delivery.

Experience

The route so far.

From Barcelona to London and back, from auditing to AI — every stop added a piece.

Where I play.

Building my own products keeps me hands-on: design, code, data pipelines, store releases and all.

MapPipeline

Behind the scenes

The data pipeline that makes Mapzzle's 600 maps. It turns any region into a game-ready puzzle: it fetches boundaries from OpenStreetMap, colours the map so no neighbours share a colour, fills the sea with Voronoi cells, and labels every piece.
