Data-Centric Engineer

I am currently looking for a data-centric role such as data or machine learning engineer. I spent the last 5 years as the founding member and CTO of a startup, which still thrives under the leadership of my two co-founders. There I architected, designed and developed a procurement software for custom made packaging that convinced customers with industry revolutionizing features and excellent UX using Angular, Java and PostgreSQL. I also applied state-of-the-art optimization and machine learning algorithms to industry specific tasks. One example is a packaging size optimization service that I created, which saves Germany's leading e-commerce websites (e.g. Flaconi) 10 - 15% of packaging and shipping costs every day. Before that I worked as a data engineer at a global mobile advertisement company. I worked on extremely high traffic systems with hundreds of servers, where the limiting factor was the number of requests, which required us to switch to an asynchronous architecture by migrating our application to Vert.x, which reduced the number of required computing resources by over 60%. I also delivered on a data pipeline redesign, where we reduced data storage requirements by 80% through efficient sampling, which saved tens of thousand of dollars every month. If you are interested in working together feel free to reach out.
