Sebastian Hansmann is a Senior Team Lead in Data Science & Engineering with 11 years of experience building production ML systems and data platforms, currently leading data science efforts at Just Eat Takeaway.com in Berlin. He combines a strong mathematics and computer science foundation (MSc TU Berlin) with hands-on expertise in supervised and unsupervised methods applied to NLP and diverse data types. His background spans end-to-end delivery—from feature pipelines, monitoring and alerting, and model deployment to coaching teams and operationalizing ML at scale. Earlier roles at DFKI, Job Pal and Otto exposed him to applied NLP, intent/entity recognition and e-commerce recommendation problems, giving him a practical edge in turning research ideas into reliable production services. Colleagues value him for bridging rigorous academic training with pragmatic engineering practices and for building observability into data workflows to ensure quality in fast-moving product environments.
