PhD Physicist & ML/AI Consultant | Reinforcement Learning, Operations Research & Recommendation Systems

Profile Summary

PhD in Fusion Science (Ghent University) with 6+ years applying ML/AI to real-world R&D problems across supply chain optimization, esports analytics, and recommender systems. My core expertise sits at the intersection of reinforcement learning, mathematical optimization (MILP, constraint programming, OR-Tools), and recommendation systems. I've delivered 6+ PoCs for industrial clients, with two recommender systems reaching production deployment. I specialize in translating ambiguous business problems into working prototypes - bridging rigorous scientific thinking with practical ML solutions. Client-facing experience includes leading problem discovery sessions and stakeholder alignment across world-wide industry partners. Technical stack: Python (11 years), PyTorch, LightGBM, OR-Tools, Snowflake, AWS/GCP, Genetic Algorithms - see attached CV for full details.
