Summary
Axel Perschmann is a Senior Data Scientist and lead developer based in Freiburg with 11 years of experience building production-grade AI systems, currently driving level-3 autonomy for Europe’s largest timber-loading cranes at PSIORI. He combines computer vision, lidar, and sensor fusion to automate complex material handling tasks—unloading wagons and stacking timber up to 12 m high—turning research into robust industrial deployments. His background spans quant-focused ML for systematic trading, Kubernetes infrastructure reliability, and early work in test automation and networking, giving him a rare mix of ML, systems, and production engineering. Axel holds an M.S. in Computer Science and is notable for progressing from reinforcement-learning-driven trading research to real-world robotics autonomy, demonstrating both academic rigor and applied impact.
