Summary
Christopher Harth-kitzerow is an Autonomous Driving Software Engineer and researcher with eight years’ experience at the intersection of privacy, cryptography, and distributed systems. Based in Munich, he combines hands-on C++ development for ML-based autonomous driving at BMW with academic work on efficient Secure Multiparty Computation and privacy-preserving machine learning at TUM. His background spans mobile and blockchain applications, 5G tooling, and people-analytics research, giving him a rare blend of production engineering and rigorous research. He holds an MS in Information Systems from TUM with strong academic performance and has a track record of turning cryptographic protocols into practical implementations for real-world ML workloads. An understated strength is his ability to bridge low-level systems (C++/networking) with high-level privacy-preserving ML, making him effective at shipping secure, performant systems in regulated environments.
