spaCy Experts in Berlin

• Acted as technical consultant to optimize multi-layer ensemble models combining ResNet, CNN-BiGRU-Attention, and XGBoost.
• Guided implementation of a Logistic Regression meta-learner to solve class imbalance problems, achieving 92.86% accuracy and 0.9644 AUC on PTB-XL and Chapman-Shaoxing datasets.

• Insurance service provider*

Challenge: Business-critical documents were processed through external OCR providers, with ongoing costs, dependency, and data privacy risks for sensitive insurance data.

Implementation:

• Architecture and production implementation of an on-premise OCR solution with full data ownership
• Methods for recognizing document structures as the basis for automated further processing
• ML-, NLP-, and LLM/VLM-based information extraction, especially from invoices and quotations

Success: Replaced external providers: full data ownership, GDPR-compliant processing, and 75% lower recurring OCR costs per year

Used technologies: Python, Docker, Microservices, FastAPI, PyTorch, Torchvision, MongoDB, MySQL
