About me

Astrophysicist turned Data Science Director, I lead a team of 10 at Araïko and bring 15+ years of experience bridging scientific research and industry.

From astrophysics to Data Science & Artificial Intelligence

Holding a PhD in observational cosmology, I built deep expertise in large-scale data processing through international scientific projects (ESA/EUCLID, SNfactory, CNRS). I now apply this scientific rigor in industry as Data Science Director at Araïko.
I lead a multidisciplinary team of 10 and drive end-to-end Data/ML/AI projects — from strategic analysis to production deployment — with full ownership of the MLOps stack.
