I'm Jakub Waller.

I'm a Hamburg-based Data Scientist, working in climate, at shipzero. Because there is no Planet B.

In my free time, you can catch me cycling Planet A, exploring what happens to its climate in various warming scenarios (+1.5°, +2.0° etc) using my Probable Futures Bot, trying to be a good citizen by programming Covid Vaccination Appointments Bots and the Leipzig Appointments Bot, reading an interesting book, or playing the guitar.

About me

For the past five years, I was working as a Data Scientist/Engineer at Qimia GmbH on various projects involving Data Science, Machine Learning and Data Engineering topics using a wide range of technologies.
Then I took a year off to travel around our beautiful Planet A. After returning, I know that I want to dedicate my career not only to data but to climate and data.

I graduated from the Czech Technical University in Prague with a master's thesis focused on time series classification using artificial neural networks. During my studies, I also gained practical experience. The most significant is cooperation with Datamole, s.r.o. on the above-mentioned thesis and one data analysis project and with Mibcon a.s. programming SAP portal applications in Java, AngularJS and HTML.
I have gained other valuable experience during exchange semesters at the Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia and the University of Waterloo, Canada.
