Frank Milthaler is a Data Engineer with 12 years of interdisciplinary experience bridging computational physics, mathematical modelling and software engineering, now based in Munich. He builds and optimises scalable data pipelines and HPC workflows using Scala, Spark, Python and AWS, with hands-on expertise in parallelisation (Spark/MPI) and production Big Data stacks. His research-to-product track record includes delivering a proof-of-concept to McLaren that spawned a spin-off and training engineering teams at McLaren, DSTL and Alstom on his tools. A lifelong open-source contributor and former postdoc, he combines academic rigor with pragmatic engineering, frequently turning PhD-era research into usable software. Colleagues describe him as a self-driven developer, supportive mentor and reliable team player who thrives on complex, performance-sensitive problems.
