Hi, I’m David.
I’m glad you stumbled upon my little corner of the internet. Whether you’re here to recruit me, connect, browse for fun, or you’re just a particularly dedicated stalker, I hope you find what you’re looking for.
If you are a recruiter and want to find out whether your role is a good fit for me? Check out the… drum roll.. recruiter quiz.
A bit about me: I wouldn’t say I have a favorite color, but judging by my stuff, it’s probably some mix of red, green and blue. I’m tallish, enjoy overnight hiking trips, and probably eat way too much spaghetti with pesto. Sports are fun too, I go river surfing and lift weights, though I really should go running more. Recently, I started volunteering with the Red Cross, and in just a few months, I’ve learned a lot and already had the chance to help dozents of patients.
My research experience spans a variety of areas, from traditional machine learning, where I’ve worked on AutoML and forecasting, to the ever-hyped LLM space, where I developed a novel pruning technique inspired by graph theory. These days, I’m collaborating with the Visual Geometrics Group at Oxford, exploring the limits of 3D pose estimation in uncalibrated multi-view scenes.
How did I end up here? Curiosity, dedication, hard work, and, honestly, a fair bit of luck. When I started my bachelor’s program in cooperation with Amazon Web Services four years ago, I stumbled into the field of data science and quickly fell in love.
At AWS I began in a sales team and quickly fell in love with the energy of the tech world. As my technical capabilites grew, I keept challenging myself and transitioned into research and development roles. With SageMaker in Berlin and later at the Amazon Research Center in Tübingen, I honed the ability to dive deep into technical research topics and became more and more fascinated with scientific exploration.
Now, I’m heading towards a new chapter, continuing to explore, and build a part of what’s next.
