My name is Gero Hillebrandt, I live in Germany and hold an B.Sc. in Physics and an M.Sc. in Business Mathematics from the MLU Halle-Wittenberg. I am mainly interested in the various challenges of software development, ML/AI and quantitative finance.
This blog is a fun project where I automated daily summaries about the field of AI. Any future manual posts will be tagged with “by gh”. See this post for more details.
