Why are you here?
Currently, my main focus is on our project MatchManao. I am pleased to support my team in the role of a CTO and chief scientist. If you want to participate or support us in any other way, feel free to get in contact with me.
I am crazy about #tech #sports #music and #humanStories – In my research, I focus on the application of data science in the fields of social network analysis, psychometrics as well as search and recommendation systems. All these research areas benefit from my B.Sc and M.Sc studies in E-Commerce, Data Mining, Data Integration, Network Analysis, Natrual Language Processing and Data Science.
I am highly interested in those topics and always thrilled to learn more as the invest in knowledge pays the best interest. During my bachelor studies I already specialised in the field of E-Commerce applications and strategies and graduated with a thesis on Data Quality in Search Engine Optimization Tools. During my bachelor studies I started as a staffer at Website Boosting Magazine. As a Website Boosting Scientist at the TMS Institut in Nuremberg I was able to extend my knowledge. Hence, my international working experience as an E-Commerce consultant with a focus on business growth strategies is based on companies in whole Europe, the United States, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia. This world wide experience got extended by my master studies in Information Systems at WWU Münster, Germany with a focus on data science and at CSU Fresno, USA with a deep focus on organizational behavior and psychometrics.
Of course I love to get my hands on new sustainable projects, but luckily I'm not available. I love to rock for MatchManao. Though, if you would appreciate it, I can forward your project to my network or you should try the smart intelligence at MatchManao.
Thank you, Terima Kasih, Mahalo and Cheers, Urs ツ
