Summary
Yannik Berndsen is a data scientist based in Hamburg with around a decade of hands-on experience in software engineering, specializing in machine learning and computer vision. He holds a BSc (1.8) and an ongoing MSc (1.2) in Computer Science from WWU Münster, where his award-winning bachelor thesis investigated combining Hyperband with other hyperparameter optimization algorithms using a supercomputer. At SVA System Vertrieb Alexander GmbH he applies practical data science in production contexts, building on earlier student-assistant work in ML and a tutoring role teaching Java and Haskell to large cohorts. Comfortable with Python and Java, he has implemented GUI tooling for neural network design and hyperparameter optimization, and pursues side projects in home automation and Android development. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who pairs strong academic rigor with an appetite for production-ready ML solutions.
