Elite Data Science Master Student at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Visiting with the Visual Geometry Group at Oxford
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.
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 at the Visual Geometry Group at Oxford, exploring the limits of 3D pose estimation in uncalibrated multi-view scenes. For more details, check out my publications.
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 machine learning and quickly fell in love.
At AWS, I began in a sales team and was immediately fascinated with the energy of the tech world. As my technical capabilities grew, I kept 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 increasingly immersed in the rigors of scientific exploration.
