Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNiklas Keck is a Lead Machine Learning Engineer based in Mannheim with a decade of experience bridging GIS, remote sensing and production ML systems. He has moved from hands-on remote sensing research—building multitemporal feature libraries and Sentinel-based detection pipelines—to operating high-performance, distributed CI/CD and cloud infrastructure at SAP and now leading ML engineering at Union Investment. His background in geographical information science gives him a practical edge in feature engineering for spatiotemporal data and designing scalable cloud workflows for analytics. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable authoring reproducible remote-sensing libraries and hardening the backend tooling that keeps models shipping reliably. He holds an MSc with distinction and brings a pattern-focused mindset: turning complex environmental data problems into robust, automatable pipelines.
