we are scieneers, we are

With our team, we are happy to take on any challenge that the data business has in store for us!
Here we describe where our focal points lie and what drives us.

Max Leist

Power BI Developer,
Karlsruhe

During my business informatics studies, topics related to business intelligence aroused great interest in me. Latest after my internship semester in BI consulting, the path was clear when I first came into contact with the Microsoft BI stack in 2018. The ability to model and profitably visualize data to answer business relevant questions excited me in particular.

In my time off, I enjoy doing sports and can be found at various soccer fields in the region.

Transformer, Prophet or Feather: The options for handling data are as diverse as the names of the technologies involved. As an industrial engineer, I learned to look at use cases from various perspectives and to mediate between them. Behind data projects there are usually employees from different departments. Sensitivity is needed here to understand and implement the respective requirements. For me, data science and data engineering go hand in hand to obtain the necessary overview.

My wide range of interests also applies to sports: Whether climbing, squash, beach volleyball or spikeball – I enjoy exercise. At the end of the day, it can also be a cozy board game evening.

Tanja Herbst

Power BI Developer,
Hamburg

After studying sinology and economics, I came to data analysis through my work in the media sector. For me, data must be able to answer questions and ideally tell a story. And stories only work if they have a structure and make sense – otherwise nobody understands what it’s about. It is important to me to understand the needs of my customers right from the start and not to see data processing as an end in itself.

In my private life, I am enthusiastic about various sports, learning foreign languages and guitar-heavy concerts and festivals

Alina Dallmann

Data Scieneer,
Cologne

During my Master’s degree in Computer Science I became aware of the field of data science rather accidentally. Since then, this topic does not let me go. I am fascinated by the immense potential of Data Science applications in diverse areas. Thereby, I am particularly interested in the areas that contribute to a sustainable future.

When I am not working on technical topics, you can find me a lot in nature or on the sofa with a book.

Svende Schubert

BI Consultant,
Hamburg

My enthusiasm for data analysis arose from empirical work during my studies in social sciences and economics. I was fascinated by obtaining well-founded information through models and being able to make fact-based statements. In projects, I directly enjoyed working with Microsoft Power BI as a tool for displaying developments and key figures. I appreciate the ability to integrate different data sources and visually map information to gain insight into the data and provide a basis for decision making.

I like to spend my free time walking or running in nature. And on a rainy afternoon I also like to go to a museum to immerse myself in other worlds.

Laurien Lummer

Data Scieneer,
Karlsruhe

I am excited by the enormous potential in all types of data and working on making it useful. In doing so, I find it particularly interesting to face diverse and individual challenges across all areas in order to gain new insights that provide more transparency or a basis for the right, data-based decisions.

I also appreciate the benefits of data and AI in my free time. Thus, some game analysis already helped me in preparing for the next basketball opponent to get a head start even before the jump ball. And when I’m not running after the basketball, I prefer to be out in nature, biking or hiking.

Dr. Philip Witte

Data Scientist,
Hamburg

After studying mechanical engineering and earning my PhD in the field of energy system optimization, I worked as a management consultant in the energy sector. Already in this role, I approached challenges in my projects analytically and data-driven whenever possible, without losing sight of the human component. Data Science has always fascinated me and as a Data Scientist I can now go even deeper into concrete problem solving, actively shaping the solution. I find new technologies, e.g., from the field of Machine Learning, particularly exciting; however, in my view, creating value for the customer should always come first when constructing the best overall solution.

Away from work, I love to spend time with my family and do a lot of sports – preferably running and field hockey.

Dr. Milan Petrovic

Data Engineer,
Hamburg

The focus of my work as a data engineer is to develop robust and secure solutions that ensure the flow, transformation and optimal delivery of data. I love to use the wide range of state-of-the-art cloud technologies, especially within the Microsoft Azure Data Platform.

As a scientist by training, I am fascinated by the structure, function and maintenance of complex systems. That’s why I’m equally enthusiastic about well-designed, efficient data platforms – especially if I have contributed my part to their development.

Philip Fürste

Data Scieneer,
Cologne

Seit meinem Studium der Kognitionswissenschaften fasziniert es mich, wie aus Einzelteilen mehr als deren Summe entstehen kann, seien es Neuronen oder Daten. Besonders spannend finde ich hier den Bereich Deep Learning, der wegen seiner schnellen und eindrucksvollen Innovationen nie langweilig wird. Ich entwickle gerne Systeme, die aus Daten Erkenntnisse gewinnen – wer weiß was sich darin verbirgt! Als Scieneer kann ich diese explorative Arbeitsweise verfolgen, um die Fragen zu beantworten, die für den Kunden am relevantesten sind. In meiner Freizeit genieße ich gerne die Natur, ob in Ruhe beim Wandern mit meinem Hund oder beim Joggen.

Paul Krückemeier

BI Consultant,
Hamburg

“I have always been interested in understanding and optimizing complex relationships. This interest led me first to my physics studies and then to Business Intelligence. Implementing ETL processes, data models and reports with the Microsoft BI toolkit was fun from the very first moment.
In my free time I like to be in the great outdoors, preferably on the climbing wall.”

Jonas Meier

Data Scieneer,
Cologne

“Computers, technologies and software shape some of my earliest childhood memories. Since studying computer science, what delights me the most is working out essential problems and creative solutions to add value to others with our tools of the trade. As an advocate of the agile mindset, I strive according to the motto “Maximizing the work not done”; life is too short not to search for an optimal path and to evolve constantly while enjoying our time together. If you don’t find me in front of a monitor, the inspiration to fly has hopefully taken me out into nature.”

Moritz Renftle

Data Scientist,
Karlsruhe

“All models are wrong, but some are useful.” – I believe that this phrase by George Box describes Data Science in a nutshell. I enjoy translating real problems to data-driven models, and to improve these models until they are useful. A particularly interesting aspect for me is how the deployment context of a model influences its architecture and training, say, if the model must be robust, or explainable, or if it must work with limited or noisy data. At the end of the day, you will find me running and catching discs on an Ultimate Frisbee field, or sipping coffee in the sun.

Duarte Gouveia

Data Scieneer,
Cologne

“As an engineer I’ve always been fascinated with discovery and the logic of things. Working with data and arranging it in such a way so that we can see what lies under the hood of a complex problem is what motivates me to pursue the path of Data Science. This world brings much more than just merely statistics or programming: It joins together a unique balance of computer engineering and mathematics which forms the perfect challenge for me. That’s why I joined scieneers: I have the chance to work with the best and help people reach their goals through data.“

Melanie Maßmann

BI Consultant,
Hamburg

“With my background as an industrial engineer, I recognize the huge impact that transparent data can have on business performance. This awareness drives me to develop BI solutions that start with building efficient data architectures and culminate in data-driven dashboards for validated decision making. Nowadays, there is simply no time left for complicated, manual data preparation! My focus is always on the benefits and sustainability of the solution. I feel most comfortable in Microsoft BI projects with social added value.

When I’ m not working, you can find me painting with a paintbrush in my hand or Thai-boxing with boxing gloves on, true to the motto: One-sided is boring!”

Thomas Faltermann

Data Engineer,
Karlsruhe

“I feel at home in the world of the Microsoft Data Platform. It all started with the development of classic reporting systems and data warehouses, but today I’m particularly excited about IoT-projects. Whether it’s large-scale projects in production or small-scale projects at home to record and analyze the power consumption – it’s both fascinating and frightening what insights you can uncover when digging through certain data pools.

Away from the daily business routine, I like to swap my laptop for my biking, hiking or climbing gear. And of course, there’s also a proper monitoring of the activities…”

Martin Danner

Data Scieneer,
Hamburg

“It used to be pure fiction, now reality – a glimpse into the future. Working out the puzzle pieces in large amounts of data enabling exactly that, in combination with algorithms from the field of machine learning, is what drives me. For me, data science is more than just science: because new findings are always most exciting when they can be shared and add value through communication with stakeholders. Although I am very interested in a wide range of topics within the field of data science, my background in neural engineering gives me a special passion for the life sciences. In my private life I am drawn to water in all its aggregate states, whether for sailing with friends, skiing in the Alps or simply for a walk with a refreshing cold drink on the beach.“

Sebastian Drewke

Data Scieneer,
Cologne

“Data Science as an interdisciplinary science combines important competencies that are close to my heart. Good communication and the joint development of new insights is crucial for me.

My background as a trained carpenter allows me to exercise my creativity not only on a workpiece but also in Data Science projects. My inquisitive nature allows me to discover new paths, which let me make new discoveries privately, for example while hiking, and professionally in projects.“

Julian Werner

Data Scieneer,
Hamburg

“I first came into contact with machine learning during my electrical engineering studies in the context of automation technology. Through initial work with image processing systems, I quickly arrived at the topic of Deep Learning and became deeply involved with object recognition and segmentation. Today, my main interests are Deep Learning, reinforcement learning with imperfect information, generation of synthetic data and more efficient design of training processes.

Privately, I enjoy doing martial arts on the ground (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and grappling).“

Lena Trautmann

Data Scieneer,
Karlsruhe

“I come to Data Science with a technical background: After my bachelor’s degree in engineering science, the computer science focus of my master’s degree sparked my interest in Data Science and Machine Learning. I gained my first professional experience in software development. Therefore, the scieneers approach convinced me: Data Science and Data Engineering belong together! I particularly enjoy working on meaningful projects and conquering new technologies and application fields.

After work, you can usually find me playing sports: I am passionate about Ultimate Frisbee and train diligently to be able to celebrate national and international successes.“

Tobias Göck

Data Engineer,
Karlsruhe

“Whether building data warehouses for use in classic reporting systems, application integration via REST services or the preparation and analysis of transaction data from WLAN access points.

For more than 15 years I have been developing and consulting in data-driven projects. In addition to the technical understanding of the data itself, the most exciting thing for me is to see how visions become concepts, which are then cast into needs-based, technologically clean solutions for my customers using appropriate tools.“

Milo Sikora

BI Consultant,
Karlsruhe

“As an industrial engineer, I am passionate about supporting companies with individual BI solutions to make transparent and data-based decisions. KPIs instead of gut decisions? Real-time dashboard instead of PDF report? Exactly my thing!

I prefer to provide support where these corporate decisions generate sustainable added value for society. Even in sports, I find it hard to get away from data: if a run or a bike ride hasn’t been tracked, saved and analysed, does it count at all?!“

Daniela Wecker

Azure Data Engineer, Karlsruhe

“I enjoy working with data the most!

Already during my studies I was enthusiastic about Business Intelligence in the Microsoft and Qlik environment. As a BI’ler I like to support the data modeling and implementation of ETL routes as well as dashboards.

Especially interesting are the numerous questions from different industries, which offer a new challenge in every project – whether conceptual or technical.“

Florence López

Data Scientist,
Karlsruhe

“My fascination for all kinds of data and their potential in combination with technologies from the field of Machine Learning and Deep Learning already emerged during my Bachelor studies. This fascination grew with my Master studies in Computer Science and I am very happy to be a part of scieneers and to be able to come up with valuable and data-driven solutions for my clients. Doing so, it is important to me to think about sustainability and social impacts of the approaches I conceptualise and to be curious and open-minded towards new technologies.“

Sascha Götz

Data Engineer,
Karlsruhe

“My home turf is the Microsoft BI universe. On-Premise or Azure Cloud – Frontend or Backend? Preferably all together! As a full-stack BI consultant and certified PowerBI trainer, I’m happy to support you from the initial concepts to data warehouse design to the implementation of concrete dashboards. I am also happy to develop one or the other custom extension in C# to integrate the solution really seamlessly into the customer’s system landscape.“

Dr. Alexander Thiel

Data Architect,
Karlsruhe

“For over 15 years, I’ve been helping customers implement their data-driven IT projects. And I’m still curious – about new technologies, new industries, new projects and the people behind them. I have a pretty good knack for understanding complex requirements and breaking them down into solvable subtasks. And when it comes to implementation, it’s always important to me that aspects such as maintainability and operation are taken into account right from the start. Code or concepts; architecture or project management, dev or ops – it’s all in the mix. I enjoy understanding projects in all their details, contributing my experience and lending a hand wherever necessary.“

Marco Fischer

Data Engineer,
Hamburg

“Moin!

I am eager to support you in designing and building data architectures, no matter if sheet metal, cloud or hybrid! The main thing is that the data arrive safely at their destination – be it central, modern analytics solutions or as the basis for cool data science use cases. From our own experience, the view for a holistic application lifecycle management is essential. If data brings people and nature forward in a positive way, I am satisfied! Making things simple is more important than philosophizing to the last detail. Let’s start!“

Alexandra Wörner

Data Scientist,
Cologne

“My Twitter bio reads as: “Machine learning & everything else around data from asking the right questions to visualization”, and this is not because it sounds cool. As a data scientist, I do not only consider data analysis and model development as my job, but also working with and for customers to break down the complexity of these tasks so that we can develop meaningful and valuable applications together. Apart from using the appropriate tools, for me personally, this entails critical analysis, creativity as well as collaboration and an open mind. Furthermore, it is always important to me to keep in mind the impact on society.“

Jonathan Priebe

Data Engineer,
Cologne

“Already during my computer science studies, I became increasingly interested in Big Data technologies such as Spark and Hadoop. As a data engineer, I was able to support various projects in the design and development of data-driven systems. There I worked on on-premise environments as well as in the cloud. My focus is on ensuring a reliable data foundation to enable the application of machine learning algorithms.“

Nico Kreiling

Data Scientist,
Cologne

“My passion is the development and pragmatic implementation of ideas. I’m curious by nature and love sifting through data to find exciting connections in it. Technologically, I also like to put current innovations to the test and talk about them at conferences or on my podcast Techtiefen. When I’m not behind my keyboard or a microphone, you can usually find me in bouldering halls, in the mountains or on a surfboard.“

Dr. Lars Perchalla

Director Data Science,
Cologne

“With PhD in physics, my data science roots lie in research. That’s why I’m all the more eager for the commercial implementation: not just to design analyses on the whiteboard, but to bring them into production as a data product. My constant challenge is to form a powerful team that seamlessly combines all the necessary skills to solve our customers’ analysis projects in the best possible way: “Always great when things go uphill!” This also applies to my private life, when I climb the Alps with friends and family or try to beat my running pace.”

Stefan Kirner

Director Business Intelligence, Karlsruhe

“With my team at scieneers, I mainly take care of data projects in the environment of Microsoft technologies. As a data geek from the very beginning, I also like to share my experience at various conferences and meetups. Among other things, I organize community events in Karlsruhe in my function as Chapter Lead and Advisory Board of PASS Deutschland e.V..

To keep fit I regularly go running in my spare time and indulge in dancing. (At the moment mainly Tango Argentino). “

Patrick Thoma

Managing Director,
Karlsruhe

“My former professor coined the comparison: “Karlsruhe industrial engineers are like ducks: they can swim a little, walk a little and fly a little”. In this sense, I try to help where I can. My goal with the company is to provide a platform on which all colleagues can optimally develop their strengths and compensate for small weaknesses in the team. Privately, I have been enthusiastically involved in triathlon for several years. The agile principle of “sustainable pace” therefore plays an important role for me in a double sense.“
