    Apple Jul 2021 – Present


    Machine Learning Research Engineer New York City, USA
    ◦ Member of the Machine Translation team that is responsible for translations across the Apple ecosystem [Python, Bash]
    (many billion words/day) with requests coming from the “Translate” app, Safari, Siri, Camera, etc.
    ◦ Improved and productionized multilingual machine translation models that boosted translation quality
    up to 5 BLEU across many language pairs and reduced the number of deployed models.
    AI/ML Resident
    ◦ Selected among over 8,000 applicants for the first global cohort of 10 AI/ML Residents at Apple.
    ◦ Advanced the translation accuracy, inference speed, and memory usage of the Transformer models by
    implementing novel architectures including research on non-autoregressive approaches.

    Max Planck Society (MPI-IS & MPI-INF) Oct 2019 – Mar 2021
    Machine Learning Researcher Tübingen, Germany
    ◦ Advanced development of the “DeepOBS” optimization framework by fixing and developing key features [Python, Bash]
    that included batch comparison scripts, analysis code, and multiple endpoints.
    � Published an empirical analysis of 15 stochastic non-convex optimization methods on 8 problems result-
    ing in 50,000 individual training runs at ICML 2021 (supervisor: Prof. Philipp Hennig).
    � Developed novel Domain Generalization methods for CNN-based image classification that led to state-
    of-the-art advancements on various generalization datasets (supervisor: Prof. Zeynep Akata).

    IBM Aug 2019 – Oct 2019


    Software Engineer Intern (Backend) Böblingen, Germany
    ◦ Lead Extreme Blue intern team and conceptualized more effective instance-level master data graph rep- [Python, JS]
    resentations that opened up new use-case sectors for Internet of Things requirements.
    ◦ Developed a prototype with React.js, a Python RESTful API, and Cassandra & JanusGraph databases
    which allowed users to connect and visualize sensor data in real-time.
    ◦ Presented the results to the team’s global head and wrote requested summary detailing value proposition
    and implementation details for senior leadership and offering management.

    Eisenmann SE Oct 2015 – Oct 2018


    Software Engineer (Backend) Böblingen, Germany
    ◦ Conceptualized and implemented an uncertainty-based single product tracking system that significantly [Java, JS]
    improved transparency and insights for production lines with limited sensor data.
    ◦ Improved the configurable data analysis pipeline for the Manufacturing Execution System “E-MES” by
    implementing better reporting-frameworks for convenient customer usage.
    ◦ Took the initiative to solve under-specified sensor data collection problems on-premise for a customer
    in the USA, which was essential for the team to successfully complete the project on time.
