DI Dr.techn. Sebastian Templ BSc

Executive Summary

Senior data scientist and software engineer with a Ph.D. in physics and a track record of turning complex data into robust, production‑ready solutions. I blend deep analytical rigor from particle physics (CERN) with pragmatic product mindset from financial‑sector AI.

I excel at the intersection of science and engineering—from rapid prototyping and experimentation to hardened libraries, CI/CD, and observability. Clear communicator; effective collaborator; accountable owner.
