Building better digital worlds.
lambdaforge is a consulting company that specializes in information system engineering and digital products.
We design and build scalable, maintainable and reliable systems for data-intensive applications by building on a combination of the best open-source industry standards and our own open-sourced stack.
Our speciality is functional programming paradigms to deliver high-quality products in quick iterations. We can beat the averages by minimizing the complexity of our solutions with Clojure(Script), Idris, Racket, Scala, Python, Julia or JavaScript.
We are not only able to handle large amounts of data in our pipelines, but believe in tight integration with both well.established and bleeding-edge data science technologies. To do so we conduct scientific research parallel to our consulting work.
We can work with state-of-the-art machine learning frameworks in Python or R, but through our deep understanding we also tightly integrate the necessary numerical routines directly and can infer business-critical information in realtime.
About us
Given a problem our team of specialists forms a self-managed, focused unit formalizing the product design given the underlying business model to implementing a flexible scalable full-stack system design. We then keep your long-term costs low by running the resulting system smoothly.
Konrad Kühne
CEO, Co-Founder
Konrad is a seasoned system's engineer with over ten years of programming experience covering a wide range of technologies and processes. He pushes the boundaries by mixing established technologies with problem-specific custom solutions to provide optimal software architectures for the task at hand. He always puts the focus on the business model first to derive cost-effective and evolvable solutions for each problem.
Contributing to popular open source projects he also promotes open-source solutions to the community in meetups, events and can provide courses to get your team up to speed in modern scalable IT architectures and technologies.
Christian Weilbach
CRO, Co-Founder
Christian is an awarded distributed system architect and expert in combining machine-learning systems with scalable data-processing systems.
Being a computer scientist by training he cares deeply about the economic success of projects. Drawing on his academic network he can quickly research state-of-the-art solutions for problems and helps to frame a long-term strategy for products and companies. He educates with passion and pushes the boundaries by developing new machine-learning technologies in his PhD at UBC.
Judith Massa
Data Scientist
Judith is an application-oriented data scientist whose areas of expertise include machine learning and the processing of large amounts of data with the help of parallel programming techniques.
She is always keen to work closely with people from other fields of interest and supporting them with understanding about methods and technologies concerning modeling, processing and intelligent storage of data as well as its usage as tool for reasoning and knowledge discovery.
Jiayi Liu
Master of Coin
Jiayi is the only member of the team with almost no experience in programming. Thanks to years of working experience in the mechanical field, her job consists of supporting the staff and keeping everything organised to ensure smooth procedures behind the scenes.
Pablo Mestre Drake
Devops Specialist
Pablo is an experienced devops engineer who specializes in administrating modern scalable web solutions with the best technologies suited for the job. Being an open source advocate he is an expert in Linux systems and orchestrates systems with modern container solutions.
As a cuban citizen working in Brazil he supports the south american free software community by organizing events like the cubaconf.
