I'm a trained neuroscientist/psychologist/linguist turned data scientist, currently working for King. I use a mixture of Python, R, SQL, and Brain to generate business-driving insights and to build better products with data. I'm also an avid runner and road cyclist

Prior to my career in data science, I was a research associate at University of Potsdam, where I did my PhD in Psychology on the integration of eye movements and brain potentials in sentence processing research. My advisors were Frank Rösler at University of Hamburg and Shravan Vasishth at University of Potsdam.
