    • Lot Internet GmbH

      Dec 2016 - Sept 2018
      Data Scientist and Head of Data Science

      The core business of Lot Internet is to develop web crawlers to deliver our customers the data they want to have. Being the first Data Scientist at Lot Internet I was responsible to design and set up the entire data workflow of data validation, cleaning, aggregation, as well as analysis to serve our existing customers better, but also to be able to serve new customers with insights rather than just raw data. For this purpose I continuously learned new methods and developed my analyst skills in order to improve our spectrum of tool development strategies.As a head of Data Science I was responsible for the entire process of data quality management, data cleaning, data aggregation, as well as data analysis and developing interactive dashboards for our customers. As my team was small with just three members, even though I was the team leader I did partake actively in development and programming. In our projects we mainly worked with R/Shiny, but also with Python and SQL (PostgreSQL). Show less

      As a Data Scientist at Sasol I work as a developer in the Digital Studio, which purpose itis to bring new (digital) technologies, data analysis, and new ways of working (agile) tothe different sections of company. We usually work in small, agile teams following eitherKanban or Scrum, and use different tech stacks (R/Shiny, Python/Django, React/JS,SQL/PostgreSQL, Docker and Kubernetes) to develop our solutions.Some high-level examples of my projects:○ Predict quality parameters in a plant by analysing the sensor data (R, XGBoost).○ Improve yield of a plant by extracting optimal setpoints for the operators from historicaldata (R, XGBoost).○ Develop various dashboards to show important KPIs, simple data analyses, and allow foruser interaction (R/Shiny, Python/Django, React/JS).
