Felix Kirsch
Machine Learning Engineer

Working at Kern AI has allowed me to grow immensly both on a technical as well as on a personal level. A fantastic and caring team with lots of expertise and a deep love for what they do, paired with exciting and meaningful tasks. I just wish my colleagues weren't that good in Super Smash Bros (I just lose every damn time).
