Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Urbanke is a co-founder, CTO, and lead engineer who has spent a decade building production-grade automated feature engineering for relational data and time series, most notably as the principal author of getML and reflect-cpp. He designed a custom C++ database engine and highly optimized propositionalization algorithms that outperform peers (up to 75x faster) and lead benchmarks on the Relational Dataset Repository, translating into real-world savings on churn, CLTV, fraud, and maintenance use cases. With a PhD summa cum laude in Wirtschaftsinformatik and industry experience at Volkswagen Data:Lab and academic collaborations that saved six-figure sums, he blends rigorous research with pragmatic software engineering. Patrick is passionate about reducing the costly data-preparation bottleneck in data science by shipping stable, low-maintenance pipelines and nurturing an open-source community around his work.
