About Niklas Büllesbach

Hey there, I'm Niklas and currently build state-of-the-art AI products with a team of Data Scientists and Engineers for the biggest media conglomerate in Europe.

I'm based in Cologne, Germany, but I'm originally from the beautiful state of Indiana, USA since 2006. I have an academic background in psychology and have been involved in the development of data products for almost 10 years both as an external consultant and product manager. I give occasional guest lectures on product management, artificial intelligence and information retrieval.

I started this blog because I am a big believer in openly and altruistically sharing knowledge. You will not find a mailing list on this website, nor will you find me trying to sell you something or pursue a commercial agenda. This is a website about knowledge sharing and illustrating lessons I have learned over the years.

In my spare time I love reading, playing video & board games and watching Star Wars for the 112th time. I'm a huge history buff (especially fond of American history) and a sensation seeker with a special soft spot for roller coasters. But most of all I love spending time with my wonderful wife and my two children, who make every breath worthwhile.

I'm an extremely curious person and am always thrilled to meet new people and listen to their story. You can reach me via Linkedin.
