Story

The Story Behind the Data

It all started in front of a black screen at the age of 13. That day, I coded my first video game. It was just a few moving pixels, but the spark was lit: I realised that with logic, you could turn an abstract idea into a tangible solution. Today, games have made way for Deep Learning architectures and MLOps pipelines, but that same excitement drives me every time I transform a chaos of raw data into an intelligent decision engine.

My journey is a balance between scientific rigour and real-world demands. As a former sea lifeguard in the South of France, I learned that responsiveness and teamwork are not optional when solving critical problems. I carry this discipline into my fitness and Muay Thai practice, but most importantly into my work: I do not just deliver models; I build robust, sovereign (like UnchainAI) and scalable tools that save businesses valuable time, turning a day of work into 30 minutes of automated analysis.

Jan. 2026 - Present

Data Scientist

SensCritique · Paris

Design and production deployment of AI systems at the scale of the SensCritique catalogue (785,000 works, 35 million pieces of content, 109 million interactions): recommendation, spam detection, LLMs and AI tooling for business teams.

  • Hybrid recommendation engine: designed and shipped a catalogue-scale engine (ALS and vector retrieval, LightGBM reranking) over 785,000 works and 109 million interactions. Result: relevance of suggestions doubled and diversity of recommended works multiplied by 19.
  • AI spam detection (pair work): co-developed and deployed a model detecting unwanted content across 35 million pieces of content. Result: over 90% precision on documented cases, with up to 12% of profiles identified as spam.
  • LLM & MLOps: fine-tuned LLMs for sentiment analysis (irony, cultural nuance) reaching 94% accuracy and improving the relevance of per-work scores by 15%. Automated retraining and model monitoring with Airflow and MLflow: time-to-market cut from 2 weeks to 2 days.
  • Generative AI for business teams: set up an MCP server (team of 3) to query the internal database in natural language, without SQL. Built an LLM editorial-monitoring pipeline with the Communication team: 3 hours of monitoring saved per day and a reaction time under one hour. Sales & Communication dashboards designed in pairs.
