ML & AI Engineer specialized in football (and other sports) AI & Analytics, with 6 years of hands-on Python and ML practice, and an MSc in Data Science from Universität Potsdam (Germany), in collaboration with Hasso Plattner Institut (HPI).
At EY I single-handedly founded, designed, and successfully built a Sports AI & Analytics business line from scratch (with a special focus on football), under the direct supervision and sponsorship of a department-linked share-holding Partner, in parallel to my formal duties. He supported carrying out this initiative after I proactively proposed it, shortly after joining EY, pitching the potential of this idea and business opportunity to the entire department. I led a small team of 3 technical people, shipping end-to-end ML, Deep Learning, and Generative AI/Agentic AI solutions mainly on: Databricks, LangChain/LangGraph/LangSmith, and GCP. Collaborated cross-functionally with technical and non-technical client stakeholders.
During my MSc. Data Science thesis I developed a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art research project under the direct supervision from Dr. Gabriel Anzer (Head of Football Data Analytics at RB Leipzig) - successfully demonstrated statistically that Heterogeneous Graph Transformers (HGTs) classify, estimate, and calibrate better football shots & their respective goal probability (i.e. xG = Expected Goals), compared to conventional xG models; this work was selected by Founder David Sumpter as 1 of 4 finalists at Twelve Football’s “Pitch to the Pros #3”.
Available for freelance and contract engagements as an AI Engineer, Agentic AI Engineer, GenAI Engineer, ML Engineer, DL Engineer or AI-focused Data Scientist.

As a side-project, independent from my daily duties, I single-handedly designed and built successfully from scratch a new business line for my department on Sports AI & Analytics, with special focus on football/soccer, under the sponsorship and direct supervision of a department-linked share-holding Partner.
He supported carrying out this initiative after I proactively proposed it, shortly after joining EY, pitching the potential of this idea and business opportunity to the entire department.
