My name is Andreas T. Bachmeier.

"As an engineer and scientist with an entrepreneurial mindset, I strive to improve people's lives through technological innovations."

To achieve that, I utilize my profound experience in research and engineering as well as my skills in business development and management. For me, it is essential not only to develop new technologies, but also to successfully introduce them to the market and solve a customer problem to ultimately achieve real innovation. Further, I am passionate about design & web development as well as Machine Learning. Understanding and applying emerging technologies like Deep Learning to solve complex problems and thus advance society with new solutions is what motivates me the most. I have already worked in academic, corporate and startup environments, especially in the healthcare and aerospace industry.

Based on my interests and skills, I am highly motivated to work in an international, interdisciplinary and agile environment. I want to help leverage innovative technologies to achieve optimal results and improve the customer & user experience.
