Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristoph Deil is a Senior Product Owner specialising in predictive analytics and process optimisation for Heidelberg Materials, with 14 years of experience turning complex sensor and IoT data into operational digital products that cut raw materials, energy and CO2. He holds a PhD in gamma‑ray astrophysics and spent a decade building data pipelines and analysis software for large telescope arrays, work that underpins his rigorous approach to production analytics. Equally at home in Python and cloud data engineering, he has contributed to major open-source scientific projects (including SciPy, Astropy, Gammapy and Bokeh) where his focus on documentation, reliability and maintainability improved usability for other engineers and scientists. As co‑organiser of PyData Heidelberg he connects community, research and industry, and his background in instrument‑level software gives him unusual depth in both low‑level data correctness and product‑level impact.
