Agentic systems and 15 years of analytics turned into applied ML.

Data Scientist and AI Engineer with 15 years in analytics across finance, telecom, insurance, and gaming. I build applied AI systems, currently prototyping revenue forecasting at InnoGames with time-series foundation models, PyMC, and TabPFN while completing my M.Sc. at Leuphana University. My thesis develops an agent that turns planning text into inputs for probabilistic revenue forecasting.

§ 01 About
A brief CV

Fifteen years in analytics, from telecom M&A research to probabilistic forecasting.

My work is closest to problems where forecasting, analytics engineering, and decision support meet. I care about models that can be inspected, monitored, and explained: Bayesian inference, structured memory, and production forecasting workflows rather than one-off notebooks.

I am finishing an M.Sc. in Management & Data Science at Leuphana University as a Deutschlandstipendium scholar while prototyping revenue forecasting at InnoGames. From April 2027, I am open to full-time Data Scientist and AI Engineer roles in Germany.

What I work on

I build forecasting and decision-support systems for teams that need defensible predictions, not just performant models. My current focus is applied LLM and agentic systems for analyst workflows, hierarchical Bayesian inference, and time-series foundation models running on cloud and self-hosted infrastructure. The projects below span all three: knowledge-graph question answering, hierarchical Bayesian customer lifetime value, and a multi-agent founder assistant.

Looking for a data scientist or AI engineer in Germany, Hamburg, Munich or Berlin, from April 2027?

I bring the most value in forecasting automation, scalable analytics pipelines, and agentic system design, with a focus on open-source and cloud-native architectures.

My work fits six kinds of teams well:

  • Insurance and reinsurance analytics. Underwriting segmentation at Absolute Insurance plus current Bayesian forecasting research, applicable to Munich's insurance cluster and beyond.
  • Gaming and consumer products. Currently prototyping revenue forecasting and building analytics infrastructure at InnoGames in Hamburg, including Microsoft Fabric migration and Power BI dashboards.
  • AI-native startups and applied AI labs working on LLM systems, agentic architectures, and retrieval. My thesis builds an agent that turns planning text into inputs for probabilistic revenue forecasting.
  • Telecom and network analytics. Eight years at MTS covering market analysis and M&A across Indian, Serbian, Slovenian, and Moldovan markets, relevant to Munich's operator headquarters.
  • Global tech firms and platform teams in Hamburg, Munich, and Berlin where forecasting, applied ML, and production analytics scale across products.
  • Startups and scale-ups shipping production ML and agentic systems as core product, not pilots.

I'm comfortable in English C1 and German B2-C1. Fifteen years in analytics have been about shipping for international teams across finance, telecom, insurance, and gaming.
