What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level role building LLM-driven analytics and real-time data products, collaborating cross-functionally in an innovative, data-first company that values production-ready ML and impact-driven dashboards.

I am an innovative data analyst specializing in applied data science and AI, with hands-on experience building LLM-driven solutions and interactive dashboards. I combine practical engineering with a focus on delivering actionable insights for stakeholders.

At Merck KGaA I developed FastAPI endpoints integrating an LLM with Qdrant and SQL, implemented metadata-driven Azure DevOps pipelines, and reduced manual query effort by 40% while accelerating data retrieval times by 30%.

My academic projects include TTS with emotional control, a master thesis integrating MyGPT with vector databases for intelligent dashboards, and AI-driven applications such as a German biography generator and an election dashboard. I emphasize reproducible, CUDA-accelerated ML pipelines and GDPR-compliant data processing.

I bring strong skills in Python, ML/NLP, Palantir Foundry, FastAPI, and visualization tools, and I seek roles where I can build real-time AI features, drive data product adoption, and collaborate across engineering and analytics teams.
