About

Dennis Netzer

I help companies design and ship production-grade ML and GenAI systems — from classical anomaly detection and time-series modelling to LLM-based multi-agent architectures with RAG, fine-tuning and MCP.

My background combines deep technical hands-on experience (TensorFlow Developer Certified, 6+ years Python) with industrial domain knowledge from a dual Bachelor in Industrial Engineering and production planning experience.

I have successfully rolled out GenAI products, led a development team at a top German automotive OEM, and am currently building the technical core of an EXIST-funded AIOps startup.
