Summary
Kumar R is a Data Scientist based in Berlin with a decade of experience building production-grade AI and ML systems, currently driving end-to-end projects at Forto. He combines deep learning expertise with practical MLOps—Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, FastAPI and monitoring—to deploy scalable document processing and invoicing automation pipelines that handle 120K+ invoices/year at ~95% accuracy and boosted productivity by ~30%. Comfortable across the stack, he iterates on LLM workflows, DocAI/NLP models and automation (Selenium/APIs) to improve accuracy and latency while owning projects from experimentation to production. His background includes manufacturing-focused ETL automation and BI at RSA Turbotech, where analytics and QA work cut defect rates and sped decision-making. A Master of Engineering with strong academic grades and a passion for unconventional tools (KDB+, APL) and Kaggle-style challenges, he blends research curiosity with delivery discipline. Notably, he emphasizes feedback loops and observability to keep models reliable in real business contexts.
