Vytas Januskis

Senior technologist with 20+ years working with data, analytics, and AI. Field CTO at Dell Technologies leading the AI Center of Excellence, where evidence-driven evaluation is the day job: I collect and clean large messy datasets, build and validate statistical and predictive models, run exploratory analysis, and turn the results into clear visualizations and reports for technical and non-technical audiences. I run frontier-model and agent evaluations as a core part of the role; designing rubrics, scoring outputs, surfacing failure modes, and writing up reproducible findings.

Hands-on with Python, R, and SQL for data wrangling and modeling, and with Power BI, Tableau, and Matplotlib for visualization, across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Strong technical writer who cares about data quality at every stage.
