Data Scientist | Software Engineer | AI

NoteIn a nutshell:

◈ Building software and analyzing data for 7 years, with a focus on statistical modeling, R & Shiny.

◈ Delivering production-grade analytics platforms end-to-end: Web apps, APIs, packages, dashboards, and the DB/cloud infrastructure behind them (IaC).

◈ Building AI-powered tools: agentic pipelines, MCP servers, RAG, and LLM API integrations.

◈ Published Neuroscientist, involved in multiple interdisciplinary projects working with a wide range of data, mostly biological, but also behavioral, surveys, energy, geography/spatial, and sales/marketing.

Work Experience

  • Data Scientist / R Developer (2024-2025) Data Champ’, Remote
    Delivered data products end-to-end for clients across multiple industries, from requirements and architecture through deployment and iteration, interfacing with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Projects included:
    An investment analytics platform for France’s development agency (AFD), to monitor their portfolio of billions in international development funding, with multi-database integration, interactive geospatial visualizations, and automated impact reporting.
    An enterprise-scale energy Measurement & Verification API for the Belgian Government, modeling energy consumption to predict the impact of renovations, with multi-platform data integration pipelines and automated report generation.
    A comprehensive HR management platform for the AFD to track thousands of employees across multiple branches.An integrated construction site management platform with cost and labor estimation, multi-format document parsing using LLMs, bidirectional ERP integration, automated quote generation, and smart project scheduling.
    A modular package for a branch of the French government, to integrate multiple sources of heterogeneous geo-spatial data, process them into spatio-temporal indicators at various levels of spatial granularity, and archive them in a specially-designed DB.

  • Data Science Consultant (2023-2024) Freelance, Remote
    Sales/Marketing:
    Built end-to-end agentic pipelines for prospect discovery, enrichment, and personalized outreach, with custom ETL pipelines and MCP servers to integrate multiple CRMs, intent/signals providers, and social media platforms (R/Python/JS/LLM APIs)
    Designed and ran A/B tests comparing outreach strategies across prospect segments, to iterate on targeting and messaging

    Bioinformatics:
    Data analysis for 4 published neuroscience papers: hierarchical GLMMs across heterogeneous data types (IHC, imaging, qPCR, behavioral); AR1 structures for time-varying repeated measures; multiple candidate models with PPC & AIC-based selection
    Created apps to allow researchers to visualize and analyze their data, with automatic enrichment from NCBI (R/Shiny)
    Designed automated pipelines to monitor new publications, protocols, and funded projects across multiple sources (LLM APIs)
    Built interactive dashboards to showcase results for select publications (R, Quarto, JS)

  • Research Engineer (2021-2023) LITIS, Rouen, France
    Designed & developed an Augmented Reality platform with motion tracking to evaluate and train non-visual navigation (Unity/C#)
    Designed a wearable vibrotactile belt and an interactive haptic tablet for haptic-based navigation for blind people (Java/Arduino)
    Designed psychophysics experiments to evaluate the impact of spatial cues on navigation and analyzed the resulting data (R)
    Developed and tested camera-based solutions for indoor localization (Python/C++)
    Formulated & wrote a 600k€ research grant proposal (ANR project “SAM-Guide”, 2021)

  • Graduate Teaching Fellow (2017-2020) University of Rouen, Rouen, France
    Gave university lectures & practicals on Web Development (JS), GUI design (Java), Image Processing/Computer Vision (Python)

  • Research Engineer Intern (2018) SKERI, San Francisco, USA
    Worked on an indoor localization tool using Visual Inertial Odometry, particle filtering, and object detection (Python, Swift, OpenCV)

  • Research Engineer Intern (2016) LPNC & GIPSA-Lab, Grenoble, France
    Worked on an image-to-sound conversion app for blind image exploration (C++), iteratively improved based on users’ performance
