Hi, I'm Aaron Spring.

I turn data and AI ideas into production-ready products:

  • Messy climate data → analysis-ready and effective to query
  • An AI idea → verifiable prototype to deployed system
  • Historical user data → predict behaviour with classical machine learning

9+ years experience with geospatial data, LLM and ML systems at scale.

Freelancer based in Hamburg, Germany
