About

Alex Snow

MLOps Architect · AI & LLM Consultant · Based in Germany

I bring + years of hands-on experience across telecom, fintech, and industrial AI to help SMBs and cultural institutions in Germany apply machine learning and large language models practically — from strategy to production-ready systems.

My path into AI consulting is rooted in real engineering work: building ML pipelines at scale, leading backend teams shipping data products used by hundreds of thousands of users, and most recently architecting the MLOps infrastructure powering real-time risk assessment in the automotive sector at ControlExpert GmbH.

Alongside the technical depth, I hold an M.Sc. in Data Analytics from Stiftung Universität Hildesheim and + certifications spanning deep learning, NLP, LLMOps, and cloud ML platforms. Staying current in AI is not optional — it's a commitment I take seriously.

As a genuine art history enthusiast, I spend time visiting museums, galleries, and Ausstellungen across Germany and Europe. This isn't a positioning strategy — it's how I spend my weekends. It's also why I understand, from the inside, what cultural institutions need from technology: precision, context, and respect for the material.
