Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolThomas Müller is a versatile consultant and software engineer with 16 years of experience blending scientific rigour and production-grade engineering across back-end, front-end and data-focused projects. He brings strong expertise in R/Python/C++ and databases (MySQL/Postgres/Hadoop) and has contributed meaningfully to prominent open-source projects like ownCloud/Nextcloud and Laravel, working on file storage, WebDAV, OIDC integration and UI improvements. His background as a research physicist and teacher informs a methodical approach to data science and large dataset workflows, while a period at Data Science Retreat sharpened his ML and big-data skills. Comfortable from the command line to RShiny visualisations, he pairs infrastructure knowledge with a usability-first mindset and a habit of improving documentation and test coverage. Off the clock he’s a committed community member—reflected in localization work and long-term OSS involvement—and balances a busy personal life as a Bavarian family man and volunteer firefighter.
