AVAILABLE FOR NEW PROJECTS STARTING 01.09.2025.

Former astrophysicist and ESA/NASA Euclid mission contributor specialising in high-precision computer vision for mission-critical applications. I develop advanced Computer Vision and ML solutions where failure is not an option - from space-based imaging to vision-based navigation in GPS-denied environments. My expertise includes deep learning (YOLO, ResNet), 3D modelling, and statistical inference, with proven leadership scaling AI teams to 90%+ forecast accuracy under resource constraints. Currently leading R&D on autonomous vision systems via the early-stage VESTA project. I deliver custom Computer Vision models, prototype validation and end-to-end AI development for startups and enterprises demanding exceptional precision and reliability.

Vision Systems for Autonomy (Independent Project)
Independent Computer Vision Researcher
DIGITALAGENTUREN & IT-CONSULTING
November 2024 - April 2025 (5 Monate)
Explored Computer Vision approaches for terrain understanding in unstructured, GPS-denied environments.
- Conducted terrain segmentation and image analysis on Mars HiRISE data under low-texture and low-light conditions, using Python, OpenCV, ResNet, Detectron2 and Colab Pro
- Identified limitations in standard CV methods for terrain perception, shaping the early-stage design of the VESTA system
Greentech AI Startup
Senior Machine Learning Scientist & Technology Lead
DIGITALAGENTUREN & IT-CONSULTING
Februar 2022 - August 2024 (2 Jahre und 6 Monate)
Brandenburg, Deutschland
Streamlining indoor farming operations by delivering precise CV-based crop yield forecasts and decision-making tools.
- Hyperparameter tuning of models: Significantly improved fruit detection accuracy via YOLO CNN models using the PyTorch framework and Weights & Biases MLOps platform. Projections suggest these enhancements would achieve over 95% accuracy in tomato yield predictions, thereby meeting the MVP goal.
- Developed Key Training Data Tool: First crop growth simulator in Python, addressing initial data scarcity and enabling the pre-training of ML models and the design of CV-based plant experiments.
- Developed Time-series model (NeuralProphet): Trained on climate & harvest data (88% accuracy pre-CV integration), delivering rapid results for investors and informing subsequent deep learning improvements.
