Über mich
I started a new role as Project Lead Data Science at swisstopo in July 2023, after a 10 month sabbatical to travel Europe and Latin America. I am a PhD in mathematics with nine years of professional experience in data science at the Swiss company Starmind, where I built up all the AI technology almost from scratch, as well as recruiting and mentoring a total of ten other data scientists. I excel at managing and breaking down complexity in software systems and data pipelines, and at explaining complicated concepts to a wider audience. I love challenging mathematical problems, logical puzzles, learning foreign languages, hiking and skiing in the mountains, and strategical board game such as go and chess.
