Meet Benjamin
Benjamin obtained a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in automation technology from the University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg, Germany in 2019. Following graduation, he held the position of IT administrator at a small consulting firm for two years. Upon departing from the company in early 2021, he opted to transition careers and completed a four-month training program to become a data analyst. Subsequently, before joining the data school, he furthered his knowledge in statistics and R programming through independent study.
He brings valuable hands-on experience from his recent placements, particularly in working with unstructured and complex data. He quickly gets up to speed with new topics and delivers practical, targeted solutions – even under time pressure. He’s not tied to specific tools: if a different technology offers a more efficient outcome for the client, he’s quick to learn and apply it.
His strong analytical mindset supports him in tackling complex challenges with structure and persistence. He approaches problems methodically, always aiming for solutions that are both effective and realistic. At the same time, he’s skilled at guiding clients through each step of the process, ensuring clarity, trust, and a shared understanding along the way.
