Hey, wonderful people from HN! I am a senior data scientist / MLops (9+ years) who specializes in computer vision in production and R&D. I have a Ph.D. in neuroscience and machine learning with more 6 papers in international journals.

Sadly, I got laid off last month by DVC (iterative.ai) and am looking for a new job opportunity.

I'm passionate about everything I'm working on and willing to go the extra mile to be truly happy with the result (code or performance-wise). In the last two years, I launched and managed an R&D team, co-led a team of six data scientists, and filed two patents. In addition to everything you might expect from a data scientist working with deep learning, here is what I bring to the table:

- experienced and team-oriented: I built and maintained two MLops pipelines, from dataset creation to model serving. My team used them to train and deploy models for more than 50 real-time vision tasks. I do my best to ensure that my team is efficient and smiling.

- tech knowledge and good communication skills: I follow and contribute to open-source, and I am familiar with many topics (self-host, cloud, database, web dev, design, etc...). I help people from different teams communicate to understand each other's needs. I do my best to ensure my colleagues communicate well and smile.

- cost savings and revenue generation: I created and served software that generated 25,000€ for the company in two weeks. I also built and maintained an on-prem GPU cluster to train models, saving ~20,000€ per year. I do my best so shareholders can smile in their brand-new Tesla.

- social events and team gatherings: Even if I work remotely, I love to gather co-workers around events (in real life or remotely). I organized the three last offsites in my previous company. I'm good at communication and always enjoy chatting about work or hobbies. I do my best to organize social gatherings and smile.

I would love to work for a startup committed to a humanist cause. I'm also looking at startups that empower women and put them in positions of power and decision-making. I believe this would lead to a better and more inclusive work environment.

If you think I'm a great match, feel free to contact me by mail, I am answering within a day.
