Summary
Leander Melms is a cardiology resident and physician-engineer with 11 years of experience building high-throughput, fault-tolerant full-stack systems and applied AI for healthcare. He co-founded Theodor to detect cardiac and pulmonary disease and combines clinical practice at Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf with hands-on engineering in Go, Swift, Python and JS. His background spans production ETL, CI/CD, scalable databases (SQL/NoSQL) and ML deployment—work that previously produced ICD- and SNOMED-enabled NLP pipelines and a Go backend powering clinical search and decision support. Comfortable moving between bedside and backend, he brings uncommon depth in both statistical analysis (R, pandas, TensorFlow) and real-world study implementation and funding. Based in Hamburg, he’s an audio-ML researcher on GitHub who “mostly writes Go,” reflecting a pragmatic, performance-oriented approach to medical software.
