Summary
Hugo Schneider is a Functional Architect and seasoned software engineer with over a decade of experience bridging research and industry, now based in Munich. With a PhD in machine learning applied to bioinformatics, he has repeatedly taken complex ML models and high-performance algorithms from research into production, including GPU-accelerated genome assembly that achieved 3x speedups. He has led platform and architecture efforts at Boehringer Ingelheim and GE HealthCare—driving ML/AI roadmaps, cloud-native data platforms, and the first AI-supported feature for a medical reporting product—while also owning open-source governance and MLOps practices. Comfortable across C/C++, CUDA, Python, TypeScript and cloud services, he combines hands-on engineering with product ownership and stakeholder leadership. An entrepreneurial mindset from multiple startups and lecturing experience rounds out a profile that thrives on solving demanding software and data engineering challenges end-to-end.
