Description

Are you looking for a Data Scientist and AI Application Developer with the maturity of an experienced engineer? Someone who not only builds models but also understands how results are received in complex project structures? Then you've come to the right place.

I will help you create real added value from your data – whether through machine learning models, automated text processing with NLP, intelligent RAG architectures, or AI-powered agent systems.

What sets me apart from other Data Scientists: I come from series development. With a degree in Computer Science (B.Sc. and M.Eng.) and over 15 years of experience in large software projects – from image processing systems to driver assistance systems – I know processes like V-model, agile development, quality assurance, and audit preparation not from textbooks, but from daily practice. These large projects have taught me to work in a structured way, coordinate across teams, and deliver reliably under high quality requirements.

Typical projects I undertake: Data analysis and model development, churn detection, commercial analysis, sentiment analysis, and image processing. This also includes building RAG systems and chatbots, NLP fine-tuning, as well as dashboards and reporting.

I work remotely from Germany and am immediately available.
