Data Scientist

Aug. 2022 - Oct. 2024

Quanthome is a data science startup based in Lausanne, aiming at digitalizing the Swiss real estate market. It provides services allowing to strategise and simulate performance, in order to enhance investment methodologies. One of the main goals is to bring transparency and regularize the financial and environmental impacts of real estate entities.

My projects and responsibilities as data scientist included the following.

Data Science and Research

  • leading machine learning projects (Python, XGBoost, scikit-learn) and supervising data science interns

  • research collaboration with the Center for Risk Management of Lausanne (ESG analysis and climate risk)

Machine Learning Engineering

  • implementing complete model life cycles

  • in charge of MLOps (CI, model versioning, monitoring and deployment) (GitHub Actions, MLFlow, Streamlit)

Data Engineering

  • designing, building, and maintaining ETL pipelines (Postgres, Airflow)

  • database management and architecture, data migrations (Postgres, psycopg, alembic)

Reasearch Developer

Aug. 2021 - Feb. 2022

The Laboratory for Topology and Neuroscience at EPFL is directed by Professor K. Hess-Bellwald and is affiliated to the mathematics department. It aims at using tools coming from algebraic topology to tackle complex real-life data challenges, with applications to life sciences (in particular, computational neurosciences) and machine learning problems.

As a research developer, I collaborated with Dr. Nicolas Berkouk to make a survey about a powerful topological data analysis tool called 'Levelset Zigzag Persistent Homology'. In realizing this project, I also implemented a Streamlit web application allowing for an intuitive visual guide of how using this tool works. The project included the following features.

  • mathematics research paper redaction

  • python web application

  • topological data analysis

  • emphasis on diagrams and data visualisation

Data Science Intern

Dec. 2020 - July 2021

The Laboratory for Topology and Neuroscience at EPFL is directed by Professor K. Hess-Bellwald and is affiliated to the mathematics department. It aims at using tools coming from algebraic topology to tackle complex real-life data challenges, with applications to life sciences (in particular, computational neurosciences) and machine learning problems.

I worked on a project together with a data science student and under the supervision of two PhD students. We developed a pipeline designed to study the COVID19 spreading process in the canton of Geneva. The project included the following features.

  • graph theoretical analysis

  • statistical data analysis

  • topological data analysis

  • building the project with Docker

  • developing a Streamlit web application

    This project, as a whole, was supervised by Professor Kathryn Hess Bellwald.
