Experience

  • Jan 2024 - Present
    Graduate Research Assistant
    University of Oregon Eugene, USA
    • Developed a system to infer SMPL parameters from 3D human body point clouds, employing these predictions and using Graph Neural Networks to measure body metrics such as weight.
    • Utilized Machine Learning to analyze and compute injury risks from extensive datasets, including point cloud data and additional records, over three years for 430 university athletes/runners.
  • Sept 2022 - Sept 2023
    Software Engineer - Artificial Intelligence
    Coac GmbH, Berlin, Germany
    • Upgraded SAIFTY project by enhancing SDS extraction accuracy from 81% to 89% applying BERT and CatBoost models which facilitated the project’s move to production and attracted major firms like BASF, generating around €2 million in revenue.
    • Led a team of 4 to create an real estate document extraction system with NLP and large language models, improving KPI extraction and cutting manual efforts by 90%. This led to improved service for 7 clients and an estimated €3.5 million in revenue.
    • Guided exact phrase matching project for SDS into production, implementing Faiss indexing and engineering a robust TF-IDF system for bettered word-to-word similarity. This led to a 10-fold reduction in query time, boosting data processing efficiency and reliability, and leading to a projected annual revenue growth of €500,000.
