Summary
Christian Zommerfelds is a software engineer and data scientist with 12 years of experience building scalable systems and AI-driven products, currently working at Google in Zurich. He has a strong track record designing microservice architectures on AWS, performance-driven system improvements, and end-to-end data pipelines from his prior roles at D2L, Gallop Labs, and EPFL. His research at EPFL produced a patent analytics forecasting pipeline that continues to be developed by full-time researchers, reflecting his ability to translate academic ideas into production-ready solutions. Christian blends practical engineering—optimizing embedded systems for 10x speedups early in his career—with a sustained interest in pushing AI capabilities forward. He mentors junior engineers and interns and brings a rare mix of research rigor and hands-on product delivery. Fluent in both large-company and startup environments, he thrives on projects that intersect big data, machine learning, and scalable engineering.
