Andreas Obermeier
Job summary/responsibilities
Andreas Obermeier joined the BigData team as its team lead in 2022. As part of engineering the BigData team is strongly connected to the actual portal where the magic happens and lots (LOTS) of data is generated. It is his responsibility to bring this and all other data in digested form to all of Studyportals, so it can be the basis of data-driven decisions throughout the organisation.
General introduction/background
Andreas learnt to manage and analyse data as a physicist. Even earned a PhD. Most important about this is that it brought him out into the world and wherever he went, he made something his own (some friends say this is only about food, but he thinks it is way more than that).
At some point after his PhD Andreas realized that data and data analytics is only meaningful, when it connects to people. This connection fascinates him ever since.
Key challenge
Andreas endeavours to connect every single Superhero to the data and insights he or she might need.
