We’re excited to learn more about you. Could you share a bit about your journey to Berlin and joining Incari?
Hi, my name is Leander. I am originally from Düsseldorf in North-Rhine-Westphalia. I came to Berlin to explore the world around me and gain new perspectives by forcefully confronting myself with a completely unfamiliar situation.
Since school, I have been interested in data science and AI, participating in various machine learning competitions. The job opportunity at Incari presents the challenge of joining a state-of-the-art AI DevOps Team, where I can help harness AI to improve existing applications.
Let’s delve into your role at Incari. Which department will you integrate into, and what will your primary responsibilities be?
I am working at Incari as an Assistant AI Developer working as a student with Jérémy and Nomesh to develop further and improve Incari Inna, an AI assistant for the Incari Development platform and its newest addition.
What aspects of working at Incari are you most enthusiastic about?
At Incari, the development team identified a use case in Incari Inna, which perfectly aligns with AI’s capabilities and most likely potential and future uses as a human support tool. It thrills me to have found a company that shares my perspective on AI instead of mindlessly assuming AI is a tool and solution to everything. Therefore, I am excited to further the reach of this perspective through our work.
To give our readers a glimpse into your personality, could you share a fact about your hobbies or personal projects that few people know about?
I have always been a great enthusiast for combat sports, throughout my lifetime I trained in traditional Japanese Juijitsu, Luta Livre, Muay Thai and BJJ. I have always found it to be the perfect mix of letting my mind loose but still necessitating the use of the mind to properly thrive in the sport. In addition, its physical aspect is an excellent counterweight to the stationary posture during coding.
As an AI research assistant, how do you perceive the future of AI in our industry?
I firmly believe that AI will be a great addition to every Industry. However, I do not think AI will replace us or take over the World. Instead, I believe AI will be a great tool to take care of tedious, repetitive, and simple intellectual tasks, acting as an assistant to mankind instead of its replacement.
Finally, what advice would you offer to individuals aspiring to enter the field of AI research?
Like the 2010s meme says, “Do it!“there is no better way to get familiar with the field of AI than identifying a project of interest and just starting with it. You will be able to pick up the maths and programming skills along the way, and the added context of already working with such a project will ease the understanding of the necessity of the underlying maths and theory.
