Hi, my name is Stephan Opfer. I am a computer scientist and software engineer working at Micromata. I have ~14 years of experience in the area of robotics and artificial intelligence and finished my PhD in 2021. Afterwards, I switched from robotics to web-based applications, in order to broaden my knowledge about big-data and cloud technologies.
