Summary
Thilo Spinner is a Principal Research Engineer at ETH Zurich with a decade of experience building full-stack, ML and DevOps solutions that bridge research and industry. He leads a development team responsible for CI/CD, container orchestration, and the IVIA Middleware—a modular platform for composing and operating complex data processing and ML workflows. His background includes deep learning, image processing and AI explainability from research roles at the University of Konstanz, where he earned a Dr. rer. nat. magna cum laude. Thilo combines hands-on engineering with academic rigor, routinely translating novel ML methods into production-grade systems and piloting industry collaborations like the project with ForYouAndYourCustomers. He is comfortable across the stack—from TensorFlow-based model work to scalable infrastructure—and often shapes conceptual project direction as well as implementation. Based in Hilzingen, Germany, he brings a pragmatic focus on reproducibility and operationalization that helps move prototypes into reliable, maintainable deployments.
