Summary
Julian Hatwell is a senior data scientist based in Berlin with 11 years of experience blending advanced machine learning research (PhD) with pragmatic data engineering and analytics leadership. He has led data teams and startups, co-founded an edtech analytics venture, and shipped production-ready ETL, modeling and dashboarding solutions across SQL, Python, R and Google Cloud. Julian’s background spans academia and industry—publishing PhD research while teaching and then translating that rigor into applied roles at scale. He’s as comfortable designing data warehouses and quality pipelines as building ML-driven products, and often bridges gaps between technical architecture and business intelligence. An uncommon thread in his career is long-term operational IT and management experience dating back to the late 1990s, giving him system-level perspective on reliability and integration. Although his GitHub is a sandbox, his track record shows a focus on deployable, auditable analytics rather than notebook-only prototypes.
