About Me
I'm an AI researcher with a PhD in Computer Science, building state-of-the-art solutions for real business problems: the link between what academia discovers and what industry needs.
From Research Papers to Working Products
I'm an AI researcher with a PhD in Computer Science, working on state-of-the-art machine learning for real-world problems. My focus is on deep learning and generative AI, and I'm currently a Research Associate at the University of Luxembourg.
My path has moved between academia, applied R&D and startups: a PhD that produced Jajapy, an open-source Python framework, a postdoc at Eawag, a stint as founding CTO, and consulting work delivering AI platforms to business clients. I also enjoy competing (winner of the Idiap Create Challenge 2026 and a Kaggle Playground competition) and mentoring students.
Activities
I have done a relatively large range of activities. But still I have hard time hammering a nail.
Research
Research interests: Computer Vision, Deep Learning, Theorical Machine Learning, Statistical Methods, Markov Models, Formal Verification
Development
I've a strong and long developer experience. Mostly (but not exclusively) Python for ML projects, but also full stack (with Python based backend).
Consulting
You have data but you don't know how to exploit them? You want to optimize your workflow but you don't know how? I already have some ideas for you!
Tutoring
I've been teaching mathematics for over 10 years now, to more than 30 students. Mostly, but only, for preparing A-levels.
Projects
Here are some projects I proud of. For most of them I've been the sole technical contributor, and therefore leader!
Resume
Professional Journey
I have always let the most compelling projects shape my path, and I am curious to see what comes next. Perhaps it will be a project we build together!
Postdoc Researcher
University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg, LU
Oct. 2025 - PresentTraining AI requires a lot of data. Taking pictures from Mars is expensive. How can we then train a rover to safely navigate autonomously on Mars?
Chief Technology Officer
Kleidrobe, Berlin, DE
Jan. 2025 - Oct. 2025We love shopping on internet. But how can I be sure that this clothing piece will fit me? If only I could have a virtual avatar from a simple phone picture!
Project Leader
Les Bains de Saillon, Saillon, CH
Nov. 2024 - Feb. 2025Weekly, we must plan the work shifts of our 30+ collaborators, spread over our 7 food points. But we must follow stricly the local laws and each worker contract! And the boss wants to optimize the cost!
Postdoc Researcher
Eawag, Dübendorf, CH
Jan. 2024 - Sep. 2025The past months weather, its slope, the soil nature etc. We have a lot of information about this river! But how can we predict when and how much it will flood?
Academic Background
It all started with a strong academic background, for I love to learn! My studies took me from Brussels to Reykjavik, each step deepened my taste for hard problems.
PhD in Computer Science
Reykjavík University, IS
Developed ML methods for stochastic models and uncertainty-aware systems.
Created Jajapy, an open-source Python ML framework with testing and documentation practices
Master of Computer Science
Université Libre de Bruxelles, BE
With a focus on statistics, foundations of AI, formal methods of verification and algorithms.
Bachelor of Computer Science
Université Libre de Bruxelles, BE
With a focus on theoretical computer science, programming languages, mathematics and logic.
