Data science projects
From production ML systems serving millions of daily predictions to deep learning models for bioimage analysis, here are some of the projects I've worked on across consulting and academic research.
Web development projects
A weekly HTML/CSS course at age ten sparked what has since become a lasting passion. Over the years, I've built and maintained websites for personal projects, local organizations, and freelance clients.

About me
I grew up in Oberwil near Basel, Switzerland, where an early curiosity for languages and science shaped much of my path. I started learning Mandarin Chinese at four, spent part of my childhood at a bilingual school in Singapore, and went on to pick up several more languages along the way. I began studying chemistry at the University of Freiburg at fourteen, eventually switching to biology once I found my real passion at the intersection of life sciences and computation.
I'm currently a data science consultant at Artifact in Zurich, where I develop and deploy machine learning models at scale. My work includes leading the end-to-end ML system behind Swiss Post's nationwide parcel arrival time predictions, serving roughly one million daily forecasts, as well as designing award-winning generative AI solutions with RAG pipelines and agentic workflows.
Before consulting, I completed my PhD in computational biology at the Friedrich Miescher Institute (FMI) in Basel, where I built deep learning models for bioimage analysis, most notably deepBlink, which has been downloaded over 40,000 times. I hold a BSc in Biology from the University of Freiburg and an MSc in Molecular Biology from the University of Basel, and have authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in journals like Cell and Nucleic Acids Research.
Outside of work, I serve as a lieutenant and fourier in my local fire brigade, leading the command support unit and building high-availability alerting software for emergency operations. I speak German and English natively, and am fluent in Spanish, French, and Italian. In my free time, I enjoy building web applications and being on, in, and around water.
