What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my ML skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative projects that drive real-world impact.

I am a Junior Machine Learning Engineer and Data Scientist with a strong passion for building and deploying robust machine learning solutions. My academic background includes a B.Sc. in Computational Science from the University of Potsdam, where I focused on AI and machine learning. I have hands-on experience fine-tuning large language models and developing data-driven insights that significantly impact business outcomes.

In my recent role as a Data Scientist at Skinmate GmbH, I initiated innovative AI-based approaches for data extraction, contributing to the creation of an industry-first database. Additionally, I have developed an agentic LLM application at KPMG that aids professionals in mapping semantically similar data entities. My commitment to continuous learning is evident through my completion of multiple courses from Stanford and DeepLearning.AI, which have equipped me with a solid foundation in machine learning and deep learning techniques.
