Kevin Heinicke

Hey!

I'm a data scientist at Deichmann – Europes largest shoe retailer. We're building and scaling automated analysis and forecast models using python, Spark, and Azure stuff. I love to code with a lot of coffee. Feel free to contact me via kevin@kehei.de.

As a PHD student I did particle physics and data analyses for the LHCb experiment at CERN, I worked at the wonderful chair for experimental particle physics E5 at TU Dortmund university.

• github.com/bixel - my github projects, notably:
  • bdt2cpp - a C++ code generator for XGBoost and TMVA BDTs
  • kehei.de - the source of this website
  • coffee - It's all about coffee ☕️: Manage coffee users, coffee machine services, payments, and achievements! Using the full stack: python3, React.js, mongodb, Docker 😝
• my masters thesis (PDF) - it describes an optimization campaing of some piece of code to distinguish matter from anti-matter, using a large stack of software packages, including a lot of fancy^® stuff.
• tadra-unna.de - highschool group to support the TADRA-project
• pep-dortmund.org - TU Dortmund's physics departments alumni association
  • github.com/pep-dortmund/homepage - the source of the alumni group's website. We constantly use a github workflow + travis-ci to manage the site's content and deploy it. Fancy 😎.
• toolbox.pep-dortmund.org - An introductory workshop into basic scientific tools such as python, git and LaTeX − starting from zero and learning to produce nice plots and LaTeX documents
• Some gists that are useful to me and might be interesting for others, as well
  • A toy example of extended maximum likelihood fitting and the sPlot method using "bare" numpy
  • Using the Cholesky-Decomposition of a given covariance matrix to generate pseudorandom samples with correct correlations quickly
  • Installing ROOT from source on MacOS
  • A simple animated plot for a custom emoji. This will look somewhat like .
  • Some local Corona Virus trend visualization
