Hey there!

My name is Sara, I am a Data Ops Engineer with a background in Cognitive Neuroscience and Data Science based in Berlin. I specialize in designing, building, deploying and evaluating scalable data pipelines and automation systems that help teams work faster and smarter.

I am passionate about solving real and complex problems with scalable, user-centered solutions - and I'm always eager to learn something new along the way!

What I do

  • Build APIs and GenAI-powered internal tools (AI-driven research and automation solutions)
  • Design evaluation frameworks and pipelines for assessing LLM and RAG system performance
  • Automate workflows to reduce manual effort and increase operational efficiency
  • Architect and orchestrate robust data pipelines
  • Own the full software lifecycle, from requirements gathering to cloud deployment and iterative improvement
  • ... and more!
