About Me
Currently working as a Data Scientist at Lokad, a software company, based in Paris, France for 3 years. I work directly with company executives and planning teams in the MRO Aeronautics, eCommerce, and retail sectors to optimize their supply chain and purchasing practices. This involves financial modeling, demand forecasting, and stochastic simulations. I utilize a diverse set of tools and languages in my job including Python, C#, and SQL. My position is unique in that I am in direct contact with the stakeholders, and am providing support at each level of a project from data ETL, model engineering and deployment, and data reporting and visualization. This allows me to act as both a data scientist and consultant, working together to find the optimal solution to their problem. You can find a copy of my CV here.
Before working as a Data Scientist, I studied Nuclear Engineering and Material Science, obtaining a Double Master's degree through the EIT InnoEnergy program, at KTH Royal Insitute of Technology and Grenoble INP Phelma. As a nuclear engineer I helped in R&D projects concering thermal hydraulic code development, probabilistic risk assessment, radiation safety, and neutronics modeling, with tools like MCNP6, MAAP, SERPENT, and COMSOL. During my studies I specialized in material science applications for Generation III and IV+ reactors, while also taking supplemental courses in nuclear fusion physics and renewable energy systems.
Outside of work, I enjoy getting outside and into the mountains as much as possible, whether hiking, climbing, or skiing, typically in the French Alps. I do my best to keep up with the newest technology and trends in the worlds of data science and green (yes that includes Nuclear) energy, and testing things out in personal projects. My newest hobby has been film photography, exploring my home of Paris and other cities with my trusty Minolta rangefinder.
