STEVEN BRANDT
Manager Data Scientist and Engineer

Background on Steven

Strategic Data Scientist and Engineering Consultant Background: I completed my master’s degree in data and knowledge engineering with a research project in the research department of Audi AG on the subject of deep learning for autonomous driving. I then worked as a data scientist at Fraunhofer, Europe’s largest application-oriented research organization. In conclusion of my research activities, I switched to consulting and have been leading data and automation projects ever since.

My Engineering Superpower:  My engineering superpower is my ability to quickly learn about a project, connect the dots, and architect a solution to enable smart data-driven decision making through fully automated workflows.

What is the Principle at Stride You Connect with the Most: Principle 8: It’s Okay to Make Mistakes and Unacceptable Not to Learn From Them. I think continuous learning is inevitable to grow, but you cannot learn without making mistakes. Recognizing mistakes as something good prevents being afraid of making mistakes to the extent that prevents growth.

Favorite Color: Green

Favorite Vacation Spot: Why go back to a place I have been already? This planet has so much to offer!
