About me
I am an applied scientist focused on machine learning and practical engineering. I was a co-founder and CTO of Objective, Inc. (TechCrunch), which was acquired by Upwork in November 2024. Previously, I was a Staff Machine Learning Engineer at Apple in California.
I received my PhD at the University of Amsterdam, where I worked with Prof. Khalil Sima’an on machine translation. From 2011 until 2013, I was a Master’s student in the EM LCT programme in Computational Linguistics at Charles University in Prague and the University of Groningen. In my Master thesis, I worked on robust dependency parsing of noisy content with Gertjan van Noord and Dan Zeman. During my undergraduate studies at Freie Universität Berlin, I worked at the German Research Center for Artifical Intelligence.
