Machine Learning Engineer

Professional

As an experienced Machine Learning Engineer, I have contributed my expertise to various projects within intercultural teams ranging from 3 to 10 members.

I have diligently overseen project coordination and delivery in the role of a Scrum Master, ensuring the seamless functioning of collaborative efforts.

In addition to my current role as an AI Engineer at Aersale, Inc., where I contribute to advancing AI technologies, I am also actively involved in sharing my knowledge and expertise as an instructor for a Data Science Bootcamp at Miami Dade College, nurturing the next generation of data science enthusiasts.

Notable Achievements

  • Patented innovations in loss weighting strategies for neural networks
  • Real-time monitoring system for CNC machine tool data using deep learning

Personal

I hold citizenship for the United States of America and Germany (dual citizenship). I was raised in Germany and am currently residing in Miami, FL, USA.

Experience 1 Image

Machine Learning Engineer at Robert Bosch GmbH

Created an innovative Deep Learning-driven process monitoring system employing LSTM-Autoencoder technology. The system excels in real-time anomaly detection within multivariate sensor data, significantly enhancing operational availability and preventing potential damage to valuable workpieces.

Experience 2 Image

Deep Learning Engineer Intern at Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence (BCAI)

Innovated two cutting-edge loss weighting methods for Multi-task Learning (MTL) that surpassed existing state-of-the-art approaches. Successfully integrated these novel methods into the established codebases of Bosch and Cariad (corporate partner) for automated driving applications. Conducted comprehensive evaluations of loss balancing techniques from the literature across various tasks, including semantic segmentation, object detection, depth, and surface normal estimation, using scene understanding datasets such as Cityscapes and NYUv2. My work resulted in the registration of the two groundbreaking loss weighting methods as patents, and it also paved the way for the submission of two papers to the prestigious scientific conference CVPR (2023 and 2024).

Experience 3 Image

Data Engineer at Scalefree International GmbH

Developed processes for loading the staging area and the raw data vault by employing AWS services such as S3, Lambda, and Batch. Led the internal BI development team as a Scrum Master.

Experience 4 Image

Student Research Intern at University of Hildesheim

Conducted image-to-image translation between the domains of regular images and artworks with Deep Generative Adversarial Networks. Enhanced CycleGAN by introducing a two-objective discriminator as regularization, incorporating an adversarial self-defense for better cycle-consistency, and applying differentiable augmentation on the target domain with less data. Employed agile intercultural project management techniques to manage the project successfully.

Project 1 Image

Web App for Generating Art Pieces

Designed and developed a Flask-based web application to deploy a trained CycleGAN model on a Monet dataset. Enabled users to generate art pieces based on their input images.

Project 2 Image

End-to-End ML Framework with Continuous Delivery Pipeline

Implemented a comprehensive framework for developing, training, and deploying machine learning models. This end-to-end ML pipeline includes data ingestion, transformation, and model training as employed in industry settings. Deployable with a Flask-based web application for predictions in conjunction with AWS Beanstalk and AWS Codepipeline to obtain a continuous delivery pipeline.

Project 3 Image

Reinforcement Learning with Q-Learning for Mountain Car Environment

Implemented the Q-learning algorithm in Python with NumPy and applied it to the Mountain Car environment using the OpenAI Gym library.
