I build ML solutions end-to-end - from data and models to production.

AI and Cloud Engineer with 3+ years building ML models, designing AWS architectures and MLOps workflows across automotive, semiconductor, and med-tech — with the organizational fluency to move a solution from architecture diagram to executive buy-in.

01 — About

Profile

I'm an AI and Cloud Engineer with 3+ years of experience building AI solutions and cloud infrastructure end-to-end — across automotive, semiconductor, and med-tech. I've created ML models, design AWS architectures and MLOps workflows, and I've spent 15 months rotating across 8 functions at MAN Truck & Bus — from Autonomous Driving, Data Governance to Vehicle and Battery Manufacturing, Legal, Sales, and Finance — building the organizational fluency to translate technical solutions across engineering, business, and governance stakeholders.

I combine strong AI fundamentals with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into decisions for engineering teams, stakeholders, and senior leadership — native in English and Mandarin, with experience collaborating across multicultural engineering organizations.

Outside work: watercolour painting, long walks, and — much to my own amusement — treating the supermarket as a leisure destination.

Work history

Jan 2026 – NowMunich, Germany

Data Scientist / Product Owner

MAN Truck & Bus SE

  • Designed and implemented an ingestion REST API on AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, AWS Powertools) for a genAI application simplifying shopfloor tool procurement.
  • Architected a SageMaker ML model promotion pipeline across dev / integration / production AWS accounts, enabling reproducible experimentation.
  • Sponsored the design and adoption of a bronze / silver / gold feature store on AWS Athena, now in production for model feature management.
  • Revived a stalled classical ML initiative through data storytelling and risk framing, unblocking adoption after initial resistance; the initiative later won the Automotive Lean Production Award 2026 from Automobil Produktion.
  • Own technical planning for AI initiatives end-to-end: evaluating trade-offs, aligning solution design with business objectives, and acting as the primary interface between technical teams and business stakeholders.
  • Mentored a junior engineer through a genAI application build, guiding AWS cloud integration and architecture decisions.
  • Delivered AI briefings to senior leadership, translating ML concepts and genAI architectures into business-relevant insight.

Global Trainee, Advanced Data Analytics and AI

MAN Truck & Bus SE

  • Rotated across technical AI and data functions — Autonomous Driving, Production AI, AI Center of Enablement, Data Governance — plus Sales, Legal, Finance, and Battery Production, including an extended assignment at MAN's AI Center of Enablement in Lisbon.
  • Built a bootstrapped web-scraping solution in three weeks (€50/month running cost) for the pricing strategy department, saving €300K in consultancy fees.
  • Gained hands-on AWS experience supporting development of a RAG chatbot.
  • Created real-time Grafana dashboards monitoring KPIs and anomalies on the battery production line for electric trucks.
  • Organized a hybrid panel discussion on battery technology for 150+ attendees.

Data Analyst — Quality Assurance

SiCrystal GmbH

  • Built and shipped a desktop application to fetch and filter thousands of quality-inspection images by user-defined criteria during an active wafer quality crisis, cutting several hours per week of manual data collection.
  • Applied OpenCV-based image processing to enhance visibility of defect lines on wafer images, feeding statistical prediction models that flagged at-risk wafers in place of destructive measurement.
  • Designed and maintained SQL Server ingestion scripts, 3D visualizations, and legacy Python applications serving 50+ wafer engineers, R&D, quality, and production leaders.

Projects

ML Inference Endpoint on AWS & Alibaba Cloud

Coming soon

A hands-on deep-dive into production-grade GPU model serving — deploying a handwriting-recognition (MNIST) model behind an HTTP API on two clouds at once, consumed by a small desktop client that lets you draw a digit and pick which backend answers it.

Desktop client → API Gateway / EAS → SageMaker / PAI-EAS (NVIDIA Triton)

Why two clouds: built the same serving pattern on AWS SageMaker and Alibaba PAI-EAS, both fronting Triton Inference Server, with all infrastructure defined as code (AWS CDK and Alibaba ROS CDK).

ML Model Promotion Pipeline

Coming soon

A Git-based promotion strategy for a lead-time forecasting model across separate dev, integration, and production AWS accounts — solving training-data curation, pipeline orchestration, and validated-model promotion as one connected system.

Feature branches → Dev → Int → Prod · mirrored across MLflow registry stages & AWS accounts

Design choice: SageMaker Pipelines over Step Functions for native MLOps support — pipeline caching, model lineage, and registry integration out of the box. Models carry champion/challenger aliases and are promoted explicitly, never silently overwritten.

Survey Response Ingestion Endpoint on AWS

Coming soon

Connecting a conversational front-door (Open WebUI) to durable, centralized storage for departmental survey data — replacing hours of manual, repeated data collection with a chatbot backed by a serverless AWS API.

Open WebUI → HTTPS + API key → API Gateway → Lambda → DynamoDB / S3

Impact: saves one full-time employee, per the requesting department's own estimate. Validated with a two-day low-code prototype before committing to the production build; presented to skip-level leadership.
