A Kaggle Grandmaster and a Data Scientist at H2O.ai, Mathias Müller holds an AI and ML focused diploma (eq. M.Sc.) in computer science from Humboldt University in Berlin. During his studies, he keenly worked on computer vision in the context of bio-inspired visual navigation of autonomous flying quadrocopters. Prior to H2O.ai, he as a machine learning engineer for FSD Fahrzeugsystemdaten GmbH in the automotive sector. His stint with Kaggle was a chance encounter as he stumbled upon the data competition platform while looking for a more ML-focused platform as compared to TopCoder. This is where he entered his first predictive modeling competition and climbed up the ladder to be a Grandmaster. He is an active contributor to XGBoost and is working on Driverless AI with H2O.ai.
