About me
In my current role as machine learning researcher, I develop, implement and train machine learning models and deep networks on a daily basis. I have mastered thinking in tensors -- handling and manipulating data comes easy to me. I have a strong background in statistics and statistical learning theory. Additionally, I am an experienced Python programmer who has contributed to open source software in the past.

I developed and published a small app that helps med-students in Hamburg, Germany to keep track of their schedule and exams. The app is pretty popular among students and was purchased about 400 times, which is probably about the number of med-students carrying an iPhone.
