I help genomics companies, academic research labs, and PhD researchers turn complex sequencing and clinical datasets into publication-ready results, grant-winning insights, and actionable biological discoveries. With hands-on expertise in bulk RNA-Seq, single-cell RNA-Seq, multi-omics integration, and clinical biostatistics, I deliver more than analysis; I provide scientific interpretation, reproducible pipelines, and clear visualisations that accelerate decision-making. Whether you're: Identifying novel therapeutic targets Dissecting cellular heterogeneity Integrating transcriptomics with epigenomics Validating biomarkers for clinical studies Preparing figures for high-impact journals I ensure your data becomes a defensible scientific asset โ€” not just processed output.

I help research teams and technical founders build and validate reliable, testable scientific and quantitative systems โ€” research prototypes, backtesting frameworks, production execution systems, simulation engines, and performance-critical pipelines. I also conduct independent technical review of quantitative models and research frameworks. If you're dealing with slow code, messy data, a model you can't trust, or a research prototype that needs to become production, I can turn it into a robust, reproducible result. Background: PhD Physics (NYU, 2018). Quantitative Research at JPMorgan Chase โ€” derivatives pricing on a 1M+ LOC C++ library. Max Planck Institute postdoc โ€” general-relativistic hydrodynamics on 1,000+ core HPC clusters. 13 peer-reviewed publications, 1,300+ citations, h-index 12. WHAT I DELIVER โ–ธ Quant & Options Engineering Backtesting frameworks (event-driven or vectorized), walk-forward, leakage checks Options analytics: Greeks, IV surfaces, Blackโ€“Scholes and numerical methods Research โ†’ production pipelines (clean architecture, tests, logging, monitoring) Execution integrations (e.g., IBKR) and robust order / risk handling Market data ingestion, cleaning, corporate actions, quality control ML and statistical time-series models with proper cross-validation (no leakage) โ–ธ Scientific Computing & Research Tooling For physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and any domain where the core problem is mathematical or computational. Custom numerical solvers (finite volume / finite difference, spectral, particle methods) with stability and convergence analysis Optimization engines (Bayesian, gradient-based, evolutionary) for experimental design, formulation, and parameter search Simulation frameworks from prototype to production grade Scientific data pipelines: ingestion, transformation, quality control, reproducible workflows Verification and validation: benchmarks, unit / regression tests, convergence studies Analysis tools, dashboards, and reporting infrastructure for research workflows Air-gapped and reproducible deployments where IP sensitivity or regulatory context requires it โ–ธ Quantitative & Mathematical Review (NDA-protected) Independent technical review of quantitative models, frameworks, and research Verification of internal consistency, identifiability, hidden assumptions, and mathematical correctness Assessment of whether the formal structure supports the conclusions drawn from it Implementation review against specification: numerical stability, edge cases, code-to-spec fidelity โ–ธ HPC & Performance Engineering Distributed computing (MPI / OpenMP / CUDA), GPU optimization, memory and I/O tuning Inference and training infrastructure at scale Profiling, refactors, and speedups for codebases that need to run reliably under production load WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME - Trustworthy work โ€” research prototypes turned into tested, reproducible production code; models reviewed against their own claims - De-risking โ€” failure modes surfaced early (leakage, overfitting, edge cases, scaling bottlenecks) - Maintainability โ€” clean architecture, docs, handover-ready delivery your team can extend - Communication โ€” clear milestones, concise updates, realistic timelines, no surprises - Math โ†” engineering bridge โ€” strong intuition for both theory and implementation IDEAL PROJECTS - Quant strategy development, backtesting, and research infrastructure - Options analytics and derivatives tooling - Mathematical review of quantitative manuscripts, white papers, or research frameworks - Independent validation of production models against specification - Market data pipelines and reproducibility upgrades - Performance optimization of slow Python / C++ codebases - Distributed training, GPU optimization, and inference serving for ML workloads - Custom scientific or industrial simulation and numerical software - Internal R&D tooling for research labs and technical teams If this sounds like a fit, message me with a brief on your current setup and success criteria โ€” I'll let you know how I can help.

I'm a full-blooded mathematician with scientific background in math, physics and computer science and basically interested in everything. :-) I worked for several years at university, did my PhD in the field of statistical image and data analysis, gave lectures and tutorials and supervised several students and theses. I'm very familiar with Boolean and linear algebra, analysis, probability theory, statistics, linear and nonlinear (convex) optimization and of course image and data analysis. Now, I'm working in the field of IT security, especially cryptography and side-channel analysis with machine learning and AI methods. Besides math (or more general, science), Iโ€˜m personally very interested in sports, fitness and health topics. I like to help with math assignments or programming tasks (including reimplementing the results of papers, e.g. in Python, R or Matlab), proofreading publications or theses, writing rรฉsumรฉs and typing/formatting texts with LaTeX, and creating graphics with Tikz. Furthermore, due to my background in image processing, I have comprehensive experience in photo and video editing. As a native German Iโ€˜m happy to support in any translation or proofreading tasks involving German. At school I studied Latin for 9 years and really like the language, so I gladly offer any kind of support here as well. Iโ€™m also fluent in English and Swedish. Furthermore, I love writing calligraphy and handlettering and would be happy to realize your individual project. As I like thinking about mathematical problems, I enjoy solving logical quizzes, puzzles, riddles etc. and will be happy to support you with any kind of related projects (e.g. reviewing them for correctness, difficulty, clearity,โ€ฆ). Finally, I can also assist with tasks regarding the German tax system (e.g. Elster online, tax returns, VAT).

I'm a Top Rated freelancer and Computer Science graduate who works at the intersection of three fields most people treat separately: Statistics & Machine Learning, Bioinformatics, and AI. That combination is exactly what messy, high-dimensional data needs โ€” the statistical rigor to trust the result, the ML to find the pattern, and the biological context to know what it means. With 3+ years of experience and 24 successful projects (4.98/5 avg. rating), here's what I bring: ๐Ÿ“Š Statistics & Machine Learning Rigorous statistical inference and predictive modeling โ€” hypothesis testing, causal inference (Mendelian Randomization), feature engineering, and ensemble models (XGBoost, LightGBM, Random Forest). I don't just build models that score well; I build models you can defend. Example: a coronary artery disease prediction model reaching 0.956 AUC, with feature ablation to prove what actually drives it. ๐Ÿงฌ Bioinformatics & Omics End-to-end analysis of complex biological data โ€” scRNA-seq, RNA-seq, WGS/WES โ€” using reproducible pipelines (Nextflow, Snakemake). From raw reads to normalized matrices to differential expression and biomarker discovery. Example: cut analysis time by 40% on large genomic projects through custom automated pipelines. ๐Ÿค– AI & Deep Learning Deep learning frameworks for real diagnostic problems โ€” computer vision, medical image analysis, NLP, and LLM-based tools. โœจ What ties it together Most freelancers do one of these. I connect them โ€” applying AI and ML to biological and clinical data with statistical discipline, then communicating the findings in publication-ready visuals that both scientists and stakeholders can act on. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Tech Stack Python (Pandas, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch) ยท R (Tidyverse, Bioconductor) ยท Bash ยท SQL ยท Linux ยท Git ยท Docker ยท Cloud ๐Ÿ’ก Ready to turn your raw data into discoveries you can trust?
