Work Experience
Senior Data Engineer
2022 - PRESENT
BNP Paribas
- Created an investment-funds data wrangling pipeline.
- Implemented a pipeline to compute, for each fund, a synthetic risk indicator that is then used on key investor documents to help potential customers assess the risk of investing in that given fund.
- Set up the entire continuous integration and deployment pipeline from scratch using Azure Pipelines.
Technologies: Python 3, Spark, Azure
Senior Data Scientist
2022 - 2022
Mytraffic
- Defined and implemented a data-quality monitoring procedure to ensure raw-data quality before ingestion by trend algorithms.
- Set up daily and weekly KPIs based on key attention points, including the data provider, region of interest, and neighborhoods of interest.
- Introduced an alerting system that sends slack messages when the data reaches certain thresholds of variation daily or weekly.
Technologies: Python, SQL, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Git, Streamlit, Data Science, Jupyter Notebook
Senior Data Scientist
2022 - 2022
Saint-Gobain Group
- Designed and implemented a "glass-edge" detection algorithm.
- Helped deploy this detection algorithm live on the production line.
- Contributed to ensuring a thorough quality level by allowing field experts to determine glass density based on this algorithm.
Technologies: PyTorch, OpenCV, Python, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Jupyter Notebook
Lead Data Scientist
2021 - 2022
Auchan Retail
- Maintained, updated, and enhanced the forecast models for hundreds of European hypermarkets to predict turnover and number of clients.
- Created a "trend" algorithm that uses past errors to adjust correct predictions. This algorithm helped us maintain a 90% trustworthiness score on our predictions despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Led the development efforts to split our predictions at the department and section levels.
Technologies: Python 3, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), BigQuery, SQL, Git, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Jupyter Notebook
Data Engineer
2020 - 2021
TotalEnergies
- Contributed to setting up real-time data ingestion using Spark Streaming for data coming from drilling platforms worldwide.
- Set up Azure Data Factory to trigger automatically when new data is collected through the pipeline. The data is then processed and sent to several third-party APIs through Azure Functions.
- Established the system for those API calls to be stored in Azure Cosmos DB, a NoSQL database, for real-time consumption by the DrillX platform.
Technologies: Python, Azure, NoSQL, MongoDB, Kafka Streams, Jupyter Notebook
Data Scientist
2020 - 2020
Bpifrance
- Contributed to processing data transfer objects from the front end to the back end of the PGE platform.
- Conducted A/B testing to enhance the user experience and support quality.
- Collaborated with the success of the PGE platform, generating more than 100 billion euros worth of loans to French companies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform has a net promoter score of 71.
Technologies: SQL, Python, Java, Data Science
Data Engineer
2019 - 2020
Kiabi
- Created Python and Spark pipelines for data ingestion.
- Integrated feedback from marketing campaigns into the company's data lake.
- Participated in various code improvement sessions that updated the company's practices.
Technologies: Python, Spark, SQL, Hadoop
Data Scientist
2018 - 2019
ADEO
- Modeled order receptions in stores to predict the number of broken or missing items.
- Analyzed data that helped us realize that, contrary to previously assumed business knowledge, the main feature to focus on to find faulty deliveries was not the supplier but the kind of item supplied.
- Developed a model that identifies more than 75% of failed orders at only 40% of the cost of the former procedure.
Technologies: Pandas, PyCharm, Python 3, Scikit-learn, Git, Google BigQuery, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Deep Learning, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Jupyter Notebook
Experience
Kaggle Competition Projects
https://www.kaggle.com/bdubreuI participated in five Kaggle competitions, earning medals in three of them:
• Natural language processing: Jigsaw unintended bias in toxicity classification.
Rank obtained: 127/3165, top 5%, silver medal.
Main project challenge: using Bert, a state-of-the-art new Deep Learning architecture
• Computer vision: intracranial hemorrhage detection challenge by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
Rank obtained: 84/1345, top 7%, bronze medal.
Main project challenge: pre-processing the scans into data consumable by a CNN architecture.
• Computer vision: prostate cancer grade assessment (PANDA) challenge.
Rank obtained: 58/1030, top 6%, bronze medal.
Main project challenge: pre-processing biopsies stored in .tiff format with single images up to 35000x25000 pixels. This project required a pipeline that identified relevant tissue parts, as most of the biopsy is just white background. Then those parts had to be slipped into square tiles and passed to the models as batches of packs of tiles instead of sets of images.
