Curriculum vitae

Joscha Lasse Bisping

Data & AI Engineer and machine learning researcher. M.Sc. in Computer Science from TU Berlin, with a thesis on graph neural networks and LLM-derived embeddings for ransomware detection.

Berlin, Germany

Education

Master of Science

Technische Universität Berlin

Computer Science; Cognitive Systems; Data and Software Engineering

Grade: 1.3 (German scale)

Focus on Machine Learning, Security, and Cognitive Systems.

  • Thesis: Ransomware Detection using Graph Neural Networks Enhanced by Large Language Models, completed in 2026.Built a self-made Android malware dataset designed so that training and test data share as little code as possible, and used it to benchmark LLM judging, LLM summarisation, and code embedding models as sources of node features for GNN classification.
  • Coursework includes privacy-preserving video segmentation, geospatial analysis with ESA Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, agentic workflows with LangChain for automated vulnerability scanning, a Kubernetes-to-serverless refactoring on Google Cloud with Terraform, and Robot Learning with ROS.

Work Experience

Data & AI Engineer

dmTECH

  • Drove the setup of my department's Snowflake platform end to end, including single sign-on, IAM, Terraform-managed state, and the first data pipelines, as an AI-ready data foundation for cross-team data sharing and agentic workflows. The data comes from autonomous store robots and Electronic Shelf Labels.
  • Build internal Claude Code skills backed by cloud API endpoints and roll them out to colleagues over the company VPN, so AI-driven automation is part of daily work without a local Python setup.
  • Automate data delivery with production pipelines on Google Cloud, deployed through Terraform and GitLab CI/CD.

Working Student Data Science

dmTECH

  • Built internal Python SDKs for programmatic access to Electronic Shelf Labels, with Pydantic type validation, used across multiple teams.
  • Ran a process-mining analysis for stakeholders to justify the investment in the Electronic Shelf Labels and their further expansion.
  • Developed and deployed data products to Google Cloud using Docker, Terraform, and GitLab CI/CD, and supervised interns.

Student Assistant – Computer Vision & Remote Sensing Group

Technische Universität Berlin

  • Taught computer science, algorithms and data structures, and Java and C/C++ programming across four years.
  • Guided students through coursework, exercises, and exam preparation, and learned to explain complex technical topics clearly to diverse audiences.

Intern, Market Insights and Solutions

Covestro AG, Strategy and Portfolio Development

  • Extended and applied a multivariate regression model forecasting industrial-goods demand, and screened M&A targets by ratio analysis and database research.
  • Analysed competitor activity for the Circular Economy programme for senior management, and ran a stakeholder survey through to presented results.
  • Built automated monitoring of company, news, and trade-fair websites feeding an internal news-tracking dashboard, in Python and VBA. Full-time in Leverkusen.

Internship

ITECH Hamburg

  • Network monitoring and infrastructure analysis
  • Internet of Things (IoT) projects and device management
  • Full-time internship in Hamburg, Germany
