EXPERIENCE

VALNET INC. · MONTRÉAL

Data Scientist

June 2026 — Present
  • Sole data scientist for one of Valnet's lead-generation brands, owning the full path from collection to shipped product: Cloud Run collectors, BigQuery pipelines, the analysis built on them, and the internal application surfaces used daily by editorial and leadership.
  • Shipped five production systems in the first six weeks, including a newsletter reporting suite stitching a historical email-platform load to a live feed over a 1.4M-row analytics backfill, a governed lead-attribution ledger, and a near-real-time news-signal watcher using LLM classification with two-source confirmation.
  • Works in causal inference and experimental design — fixed-effects models, confound control, conclusions gated on prospective A/B rather than observational lift — alongside embeddings and density clustering calibrated against ground truth, and judge-based evaluation harnesses for LLM components.
ARTELYS CANADA

Data Science Consultant

May 2025 — Jan. 2026
  • Optimized production forecasting by training XGBoost regression models on technical transformer data, achieving a 50% reduction in prediction error (MAE/RMSE).
  • Bridged the gap between AI and engineering by implementing feature importance analysis to provide model explainability for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Architected and deployed a Python application to parse complex engineering files and visualize predictive insights, streamlining decision-making for factory leads.
DR. KARIM JERBI'S LAB · UNIVERSITÉ DE MONTRÉAL

Researcher, Neuro-AI

May 2024 — Aug. 2024
  • Engineered an end-to-end ML pipeline to classify MEG neuroimaging data, successfully identifying neural signatures associated with facial familiarity.
  • Processed high-dimensional time-series data using MNE-Python: signal filtering, artifact rejection, and supervised learning classifiers.
  • Synthesized research findings into a formal scientific report and presented at the Unique Student Symposium 2024, CERVO Brain Research Center.
