Philipp Gross is Head of Data Science with over a decade of hands-on experience building production-grade NLP systems and deploying ML solutions that deliver measurable business impact. With a PhD in mathematics and advanced studies from Cambridge, he translates deep theoretical insight into scalable, production-ready systems across NLP, computer vision and optimization. He leads a four-person team, runs an internal ML seminar, and supports new-business pitches, balancing mentorship with hands-on architecture work. Recent highlights include architecting an agent-based impact platform and delivering an LLM-powered workflow that reduced manual effort by 67% in eight weeks. His background in academic research and early-career work on media analytics gives him a rare combination of rigorous theory, practical engineering, and product-focused delivery. Based in Cologne, he seeks the intersection of technical depth and clear commercial value when moving projects from prototype to cloud.
