Data Science & AI Consultant
I’m Dr. Martin Franke, an independent data science and AI consultant. With 15 years in machine learning and AI transformation, I design production-grade systems that turn complex data into faster, safer decisions.
Core capabilities
What I do
I work across strategy, engineering, machine learning and governance—one accountable partner from first question to reliable production system. I help mid-sized companies, scale-ups and in-house data teams that have valuable data but no clear path to using it: turning scattered sources into a dependable data platform, bringing a first machine-learning or LLM use case into production, or putting an existing system under proper governance. All work runs remotely across Germany, the DACH region and Europe, in German or English. It starts with a free initial call of about 30 minutes, followed by a short assessment and a clearly scoped first step your team can own.
The lean principle
More infrastructure does not automatically mean more capability. I begin with the decision you need to improve, then work backwards—automating the repeatable, measuring the useful and removing everything else.
Selected work
Led the strategy and delivery of production ML systems for driver behavior, safety analytics, AD/ADAS, homologation and issue resolution. Unified CAN, LIN and FlexRay data on Azure Databricks and introduced an LLM-powered analytics layer for natural-language dataset discovery and PySpark generation.
Developed a machine-learning platform that combined biometric and behavioral data to recommend stress-reduction actions. Research from my doctoral work informed predictive health-risk scoring and lifestyle-pattern detection.
