Applying Data science
at the Enterprise scale.

About

Data Scientist

I am working as a Senior Data Scientist at Microsoft Corporation Germany. Empowering some of the world's largest companies to build intelligent solutions by combining the power of the Open source technologies and Microsoft Azure Cloud with Data Science.

I personally like to work in an entrepreneurial environment with the freedom of working on new ideas which has potential to create new business and significant impact on society. In Germany, I do not see that kind of mindset especially in major companies but you think you are different then I will be happy to have a chat.
