Tätigkeitsbeschreibung

o Build the Team, Define Vision and roadmap around the main persona Data Scientist
o Iterate on minimum-viable product (my chosen approach)
o Technical and MLOps aspects of operating hardware/infrastructure, edge-cloud, cloud, and also in development context with CI/CD, considering latency and throughput SLAs required in industrial context
o Participate in concrete Machine Learning projects to implement solution based on the DSP. Mostly in industrial context and research, including monitoring for data drift and general reliability of deployed models
o Most notable a project around our Federated Learning Feature to classify 3D scan for Alzheimer detection in cooperation with Fraunhofer, presented at HannoverMesse, , AI-NET, and eucnc.eu

As edge-first product resource consumption and sharing of GPU resources was a priority. The DSP features we implemented address all aspects of data processing from ingestion in heterogeneous IT landscapes, clean-up and transformation, all the way to hosting and deploying ML models in a privacy preserving fashion. Our unique approach around copy-on-write-snaphots and processing pipelines allowed for Reproducible ML in all workflows, without any lock-in.

Über mich

I still love writing code. Climbing around the organizational hierarchy with my roles has always been inspired by delivering business value, as well as striving for elegance in technical things. Seeing the world from these perspective has always given me an edge and shown me that they can be in alignment, and if they do, truly great solutions for people can be built in software. Architecting and coding understandable, scalable and maintainable systems follows naturally.
Building solutions that way has changed a lot over the years, regarding technologies. Not always easier, but definitely more awesome. Massive streams of data from IoT devices along with mobile apps being listened to by ML algorithms to deliver those solutions. Embedded into the user's reality, and using the power of the cloud. That is where I want to be.

It would be my pleasure to help you in building those solutions. I am looking forward to it. Preferably from my home office in the near future :-)
