Research &
Development
Department

Sven Teresniak, Head of Data & Science

We develop what
comes next.

The Research & Development Department is an innovative and self-reliant team that thrives on incorporating machine learning into our daily business. We have a strong aversion to black-box approaches and prefer to read, modify, and extend code to fully understand our tools. With a hands-on approach to problem-solving, we bridge the gap between ideas and productisation, offering comprehensive solutions through every stage of the product life cycle.

Our philosophy.

We value technology and hard skills over superficial buzzwords and flashy presentations. We’re strong advocates of open source and maintain a technology-agnostic stance, seeking practical solutions that strike the right balance between latency, throughput, and performance. Our focus is on identifying and applying the right tech to the unique problem in question. And we love using state-of-the-art technology but without getting caught up in every short-lived trend.

Our tools.
These are a few of our favourite things…

“I love being surrounded by colleagues that share the same level of passion as me. Geeking out with them over the latest industry topics, methods, and projects is always a highlight of my day. “
