Projekthistorie

12/2019 - bis jetzt
Principal Data Scientist
MASH Luxembourg (Banken und Finanzdienstleistungen, 50-250 Mitarbeiter)


01/2018 - 12/2019
Senior Data Scientist
collectAI GmbH (subsidiary of Otto Group)

? Delivered end-to-end data science projects, including core business ML solutions.
? Researched and implemented state-of-the-art methods for the next generation of AI solution.
This includes deep reinforcement learning, deep learning (LSTM, ordinary feedforward
networks), and gradient boosting. The deep reinforcement learning algorithm
allowed one of our clients to boost collections by about 14%. This resulted in monetary
gains of nearly 65000EUR p.a.
? Developed a contextual bandit algorithm for clients with smaller amounts of data. Average
uplift - 2%.
? Developed a message classi?cation algorithm that allowed to reduce operational workload
for the clients.
? Led a team of 5.
? Created a roadmap for the data science projects.
? Devised data collection/data quality control strategy and collaborated with multiple
teams to re?ne data collection practices.
? Communication of the needs and results of the data science team to internal, as well as
external (Otto Group board members) stakeholders.
? Building solutions to benchmark/backtest the performance of the ML algorithms.




? Building solutions for internal (operations, product managers, etc.) and external (customers)
stakeholders for reporting and performance (KPI) monitoring of the customers'
portfolios.
? Supporting the sales team with ad hoc analyses for customer retention and acquisition.
? Participating in the organization committee for the HamburgAI events.
? Technology stack: Python (and ecosystem, e.g. numpy, tensor ow, keras, sanic as async
microframework) to productionize the model, R (and ecosystem, e.g. ggplot2, data.table,
etc.) for PoC, exploratory analysis + reports. Kubernetes in AWS for deployment to
production.

04/2016 - 12/2017
Data scientist
Kreditech Holding SSL GmbH

? Credit risk predictive modeling using gradient boosting. By applying a multi-task technique,
I was able to integrate a relatively new data source to the main dataset and reduce
default rate on backtest by more than 1%.
? Developed a programmatic solution for optimal bidding strategy in search engine advertisement
campaigns. Multiple experiments showed nearly 20% cost reduction on Google
AdWords.
? Predictive modeling using logistic regression/ensembles of decision trees for multi-channel
online attribution problem.
? Predictive modeling of o?er dropouts.
? Collaborated with multiple teams to improve data quality of the customer journey dataset.
? Designed and implemented a data processing pipeline for customer journey dataset tailored
to business needs.
? Designed and implemented a data processing pipeline for risk modeling.
? Supported various teams on decisions for test & learn campaigns.
? Analyzed the performance of a?liates and provided insights into improvement of the
a?liate bonus schema.
? SEO improvement by providing insights through Google search terms analysis of competitor
rankings.
? Development of software packages in R and Python.
? Building simple dashboards using bokeh (Python) and knitr (R).
? Built Jenkins/Docker infrastructure to support various tasks within data science department.

? Developed a monitoring software to identify problems in the conversion funnel using various
KPIs, such as conversions, costs, CPA etc., that automatically noti?es the stakeholders
of any abnormalities in the KPIs.
? Participated in hiring process for new data scientists.
? Led a sub-team of two junior data scientists.

08/2015 - 04/2016
Software developer
Vacansoleil

? Back-end and front-end development in Python, JavaScript, SQL, HTML/SASS using
Django, Djangocms, and Postgresql, as well as jQuery and Bootstrap frameworks in a
Scrum environment.

02/2011 - 05/2015
PhD-student
VU University

? Conducted predictive and explanatory modeling of climate data using machine learning
algorithms such as arti?cial neural networks, random forests, gradient boosting, support
vector machines and extreme learning machines using Python, R, MATLAB, Fast Arti?-
cial Neural Networks (FANN) library and Vowpal Wabbit.
? Worked with large datasets of high-frequency data. Applied data wrangling/cleaning
and outlier detection on dense data. Used hypothesis testing for feature selection. Successfully
developed a cross-validation-based framework for predicting climate data, which
signi?cantly improved prediction error estimates.
? Independently initiated research projects, which led to publications/chapters in the PhD
thesis.

09/2007 - 01/2011
Junior Researcher: Atmospheric physics
Yu. G. Shafer Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Aeronomy

? Worked with large datasets of geospatial (satellite) data. Successfully implemented a fully
automated data storage/data processing/data visualization system (bash + Python).
? Analyzed geospatial datasets using ArcGIS and QGIS.
? Co-taught `Relational database management systems (RDBMS)' course for undergraduate
students.
