Description

As an applied ML engineer and researcher with over 10 years of experience across industry and academia, I help businesses turn messy data into reliable, usable datasets and production-ready AI systems. With a PhD in Computer Science, my unique strength lies in bridging the gap between complex research and practical application. I specialize in translating stakeholder needs into scalable tools, ensuring clear documentation so your team can easily build upon the work.

Currently leading LLM application development, I have a proven track record of running end-to-end ML projects from initial data pipelines to deployment and customer feedback loops. I have delivered machine learning solutions for document processing to highly regulated sectors, including German law firms and insurance companies, which means I prioritize data privacy and operational reliability.

The types of projects and deliverables I typically handle include:

LLM and AI Applications: Building retrieval-augmented workflows (RAG), reflection mechanisms, and integrating Hugging Face Transformers into production services.
Scalable Data Processing: Designing enterprise search infrastructure using ElasticSearch, vector indexes, and building robust streaming and batch data ingestion pipelines.
Automated Document Processing: Developing and deploying ML systems capable of securely serving millions of documents.
Production Engineering: Setting up evaluation pipelines, Python APIs, CI/CD workflows, and monitoring to ensure stable releases.
