Welcome

My name is Max Pumperla, and I’m an experienced engineer, data scientist and educator from Hamburg, Germany. I’m a prolific open source contributor, author of several machine learning books, speaker at international conferences and Coursera instructor.

I specialize in Deep Learning and its applications and can build machine learning solutions and data products from first prototype to production. As Ray and DL4J core developer, Keras contributor, Hyperopt maintainer and author of a range of open source libraries, I have a distinct view on machine learning engineering and the data science ecosystem.

What I enjoy most is building interesting things and writing about them. To give you a glimpse, here’s a selection of my most popular projects.

elephas

Distributed Deep learning with Keras & Spark

hyperas

A very simple wrapper for convenient hyperparameter optimization with Keras and Hyperopt
