Tech Lead / AI Engineer / Full Stack Dev Python+Typescript / Data Scientist
A proven leader in AI, data science, and cloud technologies, I bridge the gap between complex technical challenges and tangible business solutions. My unique background includes contributing to the Higgs boson discovery at CERN and leading the development of full-scale SaaS platforms across diverse industries (social media, food tech, energy, geospatial, etc.). I'm adept at combining math, data science, AI, and software engineering to drive innovation. As an educator, I also enjoy empowering the next generation of tech talent at institutions like UCLouvain. Let's connect to discuss how we can build impactful solutions together.

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's diverse experience across various companies, including startups (Neterium, Objectory, Gosselin & de Walque, Datavillage, Youmeal_io) and academic institutions, suggests adaptability to different organizational cultures. The involvement in teaching and open-source contributions (Kaggle) indicates a collaborative and knowledge-sharing mindset. The breadth of skills from physics research to full-stack development and ML engineering demonstrates a continuous learning and growth-oriented approach. The target role of ML Engineer aligns well with the candidate's recent and significant experience in developing and deploying ML systems.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate's extensive experience in leadership roles (CTO, Head of AI, Technical Lead) and as an invited lecturer suggests strong communication, problem-solving, and mentoring abilities. The descriptions of developing end-to-end platforms and managing complex architectures indicate a proactive and results-oriented work attitude. The freelance nature of many roles also points to adaptability and self-management. However, without psychometric test results, a deeper assessment of stress handling and team collaboration is not possible.
