Freelance Data Engineer · Python Software Engineer · Data Scientist
Freelancer for Data Engineering, Python Software Engineering and Data Science, backed by a strong machine learning and statistics background. Industry experience in consulting and in leading data projects through the entire product life cycle — from ideation and proof-of-concept to bringing data products into production in the cloud and operating them.
Core Skills
Selected Work
I take data products past the proof-of-concept stage and keep them running. A predictive credit risk assessment model started as a PoC and went on to be operated as a fully productionized data product covering a receivables portfolio of several million items. More recently I designed and built the backend of an energy market report on Python, Snowflake and AWS, which replaced several days of manual work per update and enabled dynamic report updates.
Inherited code bases are a large part of what I do. On an orchestration system for an energy market simulation model, I took the project over and reduced production incidents from daily to one or two per week within less than a month — by increasing system transparency through logging improvements and reduction of technical debt, rather than by rewriting it.
I move projects off legacy stacks without losing behaviour along the way: a large, monolithic C++ component migrated to Python with the help of LLM-assisted development, and more than 50 data and business processes migrated from a legacy system onto a new data platform, working in a Python code base of over 100,000 lines across several agile teams.
Whether you need help with creating a new data product, taking the next step with an existing one or migrating a legacy stack into modern Python — I am available for freelance projects, remote with occasional on-site visits within Germany. Tell me about your project and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right fit.
