Immanuel Buder is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer in Berkeley with 11 years of experience blending astrophysics, data science, and software engineering to build production ML systems. A PhD physicist who moved from designing and deploying microwave telescope pipelines to leading data-driven initiatives at Carbon Lighthouse and Intuit, he excels at turning noisy, large-scale sensor and time-series data into actionable models and scalable services. He has a track record of performance improvements—from tripling data-processing throughput in Antarctic deployments to improving telescope sensitivity by 10%—and practical experience shipping predictive web apps and database-backed ML solutions. Drawn to mission-driven work, he pairs strong statistical and Bayesian modeling foundations with pragmatic engineering to deliver impact in energy and financial domains.
