Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRené Sass is a Co-Founder and full-stack software developer with nine years of experience blending research-grade machine learning with production cloud-native applications. Holding an M.Sc. in Technical Informatics from Leibniz Universität Hannover, he moved from research on Explainable AutoML and contributions to SMAC3 into building robust TypeScript/React + gRPC systems and AWS/CDK deployments. At bits&birds he helped design next-generation software architecture and operationalized in-house AI for real users, expanding CI/CD for Kubernetes-based delivery. His open-source work on SMAC3 shows hands-on backend and DevOps chops—improving intensification, testing, and cross-platform examples—bridging reproducible research and engineering.
