About me

Hello! 👋 I'm Marcel, a Machine Learning Engineer & Data Scientist.

🚀 Currently, I'm building Moonsift Copilot 🤖, an advanced shopping assistant with deep semantic understanding in fashion and retail. I completed my B.Sc. in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence with First Class Honours at the University of Edinburgh.

🧠 I'm passionate about creating and scaling the next generation of user-centric AI products. I believe this will take the form of intelligent agents that create higher-order plans, have access to tools and can navigate the digital world. I'm interested in working with the following tech:

  • 🔹 Specialised LLMs in a MoE context
  • 🔹 AI connectors and abstraction layers (Langchain, Llamaindex)
  • 🔹 Vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate)
