I’m an experienced data scientist and software engineer with a strong background in computer science, programming, machine learning, and statistics. My work spans the full spectrum from solving isolated data problems to building business-focused production systems that serve millions of users.

I've produced top results in various areas. I developed, for example, a web-based and mobile food diary that offers interactive tools for modern dieting and additional subscription services. It now has over 100,000 subscribers in Germany and is based on sophisticated analytics for analyzing and optimizing the users' food intake. Further examples include: winning a start-up contest with the idea of using pan/tilt/zoom cameras for building offline analytics systems for retailers, setting up a car fleet for Volkswagen to sample real-world data for autonomous driving, and being one of Volkswagen's lead Enterprise Architects for the Chinese market for mobile online services. I implemented various live systems that substantially increase revenue through the smart use of data. With a proven capability to work independently and in teams, lead and mentor co-workers, and communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, I consistently deliver value to a variety of clients and projects.
