As a Machine Learning Engineer at Pure, I bring data to life to create meaningful connections. Dive deeper into my world of algorithms, or reach out if you're keen to collaborate on projects that make a difference! By fine-tuning models, I enhance user experience, making love and friendship more accessible in the digital age. I also freelance as a technical reviewer for O'Reilly Media and am developing a video course about the "Fundamentals of Natural Language Processing". My background is in General Theoretical Linguistics (BSc) and Cognitive Systems (MSc) from the University of Potsdam in Germany. Previously I worked at the Machine Learning Consultancy ML6 where I developed end-to-end solutions for clients with a focus on NLP.
But hey, it's not just about the code! I'm on a mission for ethical AI and am big on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and I'm an #IAmRemarkable facilitator. In my spare time, I love exploring nature, tending to my indoor garden, playing the cello, doing or teaching yoga, organizing, going to and speaking at meetups, reading books, or playing video games. 🌲🪴🎻🤸🎤📖🎮
