Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Welsch is a founder and CEO based in Hamburg with eight years of focused experience building AI-driven data engineering solutions and industrial process optimization products. He leads Metric Space, delivering deep data engineering and AI-powered data lake accounting, and previously co-founded PANDA GmbH to retrofit manufacturing lines with pattern-based real-time monitoring that reduces scrap and downtime. His background as a research scientist in servohydraulics, nonlinear FEM and material modeling gives him a rare blend of hands-on engineering, statistical physics and practical ML deployment. Michael moves fluidly between hardware-integrated product development and software-first AI systems, turning complex physical processes into transparent, automatable workflows. He’s comfortable shipping end-to-end solutions—from sensor-level damage analysis to production-scale AI pipelines—and has a track record of translating academic methods into commercial impact. Notably, his career combines team leadership in engineered systems with teaching data science for engineers, reflecting both technical depth and a talent for making complexity accessible.
