Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Schaefer is a Lead Software Engineer AI based in Munich with nine years of hands-on experience building and productionizing ML systems across healthcare, industrial IoT, and survey/social-behavioral analytics. He has led ML teams and ML-Ops efforts, shipped deep learning products for medical image diagnostics and industrial predictive systems, and most recently directs AI engineering at Telespazio. A technical co-founder background and early work deploying a melanoma-detection pipeline speak to his end-to-end product ownership—from research and model training to quality assurance and integration. He pairs an MS in Computational Linguistics with a BS in Bioinformatics, enabling cross-disciplinary solutions spanning NLP, computer vision, and time-series. Colleagues know him for translating complex research into reliable production software and for balancing R&D curiosity with practical delivery.
