30-seconds-bio: I sleep 6h a day. When I am not sleeping, I look at code -- lots of code. For all kinds of projects. During the day, it's usually about social science. At night, it's all kind of tech stuff. I like to work with people who I share core values with -- and passion for the same things (for example economics, politics, science and making the world a better place). Besides that, I like to fail. And learn. Or probably learn through failure. My rolemodels are: Forrest Gump, Alan Turing, Angela Merkel, Tim Berners-Lee.
60-seconds-bio: I am a DPhil student in Social Policy at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention at the University of Oxford. In my research, I focus on social and economic policy changes and how machine learning can be used to improve our empirical understanding of both domains. In my PhD dissertation, I am applying natural language processing models to measure social and economic policy changes in a fully automatized way. Beyond my studies, I follow my passion for data science and coding also in other projects. For an overiew, please check out my Github profile. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Zeppelin University (with semester abroad at Columbia University) and a master’s degree in International Political Economy from London School of Economics (LSE). Before and during my doctoral studies, I have worked as Researcher/Research Assistant at IMF, Oxford, LSE, UCL, King's College and EBRD. For more information, check out my resume.

Before I got into my passion for data, I was working as a web developer for a couple of organisations. Get in touch if you need a website that should not look like one from the 1970s. A few examples of my work:
