Berlin, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Fraine is a Head of Engineering and AI leader based in Berlin with a decade of multidisciplinary experience bridging research-grade machine learning and production software for large-scale open knowledge systems and space science. He currently leads engineering and product teams at Wikimedia Deutschland to design federated, multilingual platforms for preserving and surfacing free knowledge while driving NLP, semantic web, and system architecture optimisation. Concurrently he applies advanced ML and computer vision to exoplanet atmosphere extraction and space telescope calibration at the Space Science Institute, turning thousands of images and time series into robust scientific signals. Past startup work includes end-to-end IoT, MLOps and regulatory-grade product delivery for eldercare, demonstrating a rare combination of hardware, cloud, and ML productionisation expertise. He also volunteers as an educator, running data science bootcamps for underrepresented communities, and his background in astrophysics and applied mathematics informs a data-first, instrument-aware approach to engineering problems. Not obviously, his career threads—from JWST instrument calibration to Wikimedia’s semantic web—reflect a consistent focus on extracting signal from complex, noisy data at planetary and planetary-scale.
