Andy in a few words

I develop machine leaning and computer vision solutions using python and modern C++. I’m passionate about edge based data intensive applications that combine embedded systems and cloud computing to provide inference locally on edge devices.

I am experienced in developing embedded systems software and computer vision algorithms in C++ and developing machine learning models in python. I have a background is in scientific computation for particle physics (PhD) which provides expertise in linear algebra, multivariate calculus and numerical methods.

Experience

AXON VIBE AG

Digital & IT

Data Scientist

Lucerne, Switzerland

November 2018 - December 2021 (3 years and 1 month)

I worked on a location based contextual platform building machine learning models that use mobile sensor data (GNSS/IMU) to detect behavioural patterns in users mobility. I constructed serverless injestion pipelines for data-monitoring, anomaly detection, and feature extraction (AWS Lambda, Batch and S3). I developed a system for Significant Location detection and productionized it as a batch service including ETL and data connectors as a RESTful service and visualization with Javascript.

Senior Software Engineer  - As a freelancer

Lucerne, Switzerland

December 2010 - October 2018 (7 years and 10 months)

I developed embedded software for RTOS/Embedded Linux in modern C++ using Agile methods. Projects included fieldbus based distributed real-time motion control (industrial robotics), communication and security modules (IoT), and metering platform (SmartEnergy). I performed Quality Assurance Engineering for medical devices with mobile app controller including executable functional specification in Cucumber, test automation with Appium and Jenkins.

Research

Research Fellow

March 2004 - February 2006 (1 year and 11 months)

Computational Physics and 3D geometric modeling for Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) using the CERN high performance computing cluster. Monte-Carlo simulation of multi-particle transport for energy deposition and radiation damage in the LHC control electronics under beam accident scenarios. The studies ultimately help ensure the correct and safe operation of the LHC.
