About

Machine Learning Engineer and Teacher with ~7 years of experience in Data Science and Engineering. Worked in organizations of various sizes from e-commerce to mobility and education. I care about enabling people and organizations to create value with data and machine Learning. I currently think about how to teach minimalistic MLOps without reinventing the wheel.
