Hi, I am Alex.

I am a data scientist & software engineer living in Lyon (FR)

My manifold technical interests include software engineering, statistics, and data visualization. I try to cultivate a diverse set of skills. Thus, I feel just as confident writing a data preprocessing script, serving a model in a web server, or setting up a CI pipeline for unit tests.

Technology watch makes a significant part of my typical day, as I like to be in touch with the latest Python or analytics tools news. I feel strongly about the FOSS mindset and contribute to the projects I like when I can.

I majored with honors (M.Sc.Eng) in telecommunications in 2017.
