I'm a data professional with 10+ years of experience in data science, analytics engineering, and (data) product development. Currently I work on Smart Container Analytics at Hapag-Lloyd — one of the world's leading container shipping companies — building data products and AI applications around IoT sensor data from a global container fleet.
Previously, I served as Product Owner for Hapag-Lloyd's central Data Lake, leading the cloud migration, technical setup on AWS, and the rollout of a company-wide analytics community.
I'm passionate about:
- 🚢 Applying data science to real-world logistics & sustainability challenges
- 🏗️ Building scalable data platforms and analytics ecosystems
- 📊 Enabling data democracy through self-service analytics
- 🤖 Bringing AI/ML into production in complex industrial environments
