Summary
Pius Friesch is a software developer based in Germany with 12 years of experience combining applied computer science and machine learning. He holds an MSc in Machine Learning from KTH and a BSc in Applied Computer Science, graduating with strong academic marks in Germany. At Curiosity.ai he applies research-led engineering to build production-ready ML systems, building on prior speech and keyword-spotting research at Snips where his MSc thesis explored neural voice conversion for data augmentation. His background spans backend engineering in Scala as well as hands-on ML research, giving him a pragmatic bridge between prototypes and scalable services. Colleagues describe him as someone who turns complex signal-processing ideas into reliable code, often finding data-efficient ways to train models without task-specific datasets. He brings a measured, research-informed approach to product engineering and a preference for solutions that generalize beyond narrow benchmarks.
