I studied statistics and ML at ETH Zurich until December 2023. After graduating, I built machine learning pipelines & products as a freelancer and explored some ideas of my own. As of May 2025, I am working on general-purpose algorithms for robotic arms, making robot deployments so easy that you don't need a technical background.

A high-level timeline

2015-2018 - Studied business and economics in St. Gallen. Figured out to make my thesis a CS project and built object detection pipelines in Tensorflow.
2018-2020 - Interned at BCG and as a data scientist at On. Took 3 months off to read Introduction to Statistical Learning and work through Stanford's CS231n and CS224n. Worked as a data scientist for Lakestar, a VC fund.
2019 & 2020 - After holding several guest lectures I was invited by the University of St. Gallen to teach my own course on Data Science.
2020 - Started studying statistics at ETH Zurich
2021 Feb-July - Short break from studying to clear containers in Sierra Leone for my passion project Sierra Leone Hockey.
2023 - Finished studies at ETH Zurich, published my master's thesis at NeurIPS. Also published this and this paper in computational genomics along the way.
2024-April 2025 - Built ML pipelines and applications for other start-ups as a freelancer. Explored some own ideas.
May 2025-Now - Working on ML models for autonomous robotics arms.
