Summary
Till Keyling is a Principal Software Architect with 14 years of experience designing and scaling data-intensive systems for consumer-facing enterprises in the Greater Munich area. At PAYBACK he drives architectural decisions and led a major migration to Python, containerization and cloud services while scaling two engineering teams supporting millions of customers. His background blends hands-on data science and engineering from roles at ProSiebenSat.1—where he built enterprise web apps, real-time analytics pipelines, and a group-wide data science workbench—with academic research and teaching in communication science. He routinely translates complex analytics and streaming workloads into production-grade ETL, APIs and cloud-native services, and has steered cross-functional product teams as both lead engineer and product owner. Known for bridging research-grade methods (LDA, Word2Vec, time-series modeling) with pragmatic engineering, he brings a rare combination of doctoral-level analytical rigor and enterprise architecture experience. Based in Munich, he focuses on resilient, scalable platforms that turn large-scale customer data into operational business value.
