We understand data science is often intertwined with business processes and horizontally integrated with various supporting business functions. We 'localize' to each organizational structure, and deliver solutions fully respecting your existing technological infrastructure.
From custom software development in the Artificial Intelligence domains (computer vision, natural language processing etc) to automation pipelines for routinely, day-to-day tasks, we can play a role as an advisor, implementor, technology enabler and developer.

Why Full-Cycle Data Science at Supertype?
If you’re looking to introduce productivity gains and efficiencies in your business process using AI and machine learning, you’ve probably been told to hire a team of data scientists, one or two data engineers, a database person and an ETL specialist. Maybe a number of software developers along with a UX designer. And a business analyst to translate business needs to technical specs. When you’re ready to deploy, your IT team gets involved along with the new cloud infrastructure consultant you hired.
This is unruly, and puts a lot of inertia on your data-driven initiatives. Supertype practices a full cycle data science consultancy model by combining the science domains (algebra, mathematics, calculus) with the engineering prowess from the computer software domains. We deliver solutions, not formulas.
