Hire Dr. Paul Blondel
Machine Learning Expert

Summary

Hi, I’m Paul. I offer my services as a Data Scientist / Computer Science Research Engineer. I have both a scientific and technical background in Computer Science, and more specifically in Machine Learning and Data Science. I’m deeply curious and passionated about understanding and tackling problems as a whole. Understanding the theory behind an algorithm, to better optimize it afterwards, is as interesting to me as the technical issues related to its integration in a product and its usage by users, with the constraints that this implies. And last but not least I’m passionated about the transmission of knowledge to peers or laymen, as a trainer, a teacher or through my articles and reports. As a freelance Data Scientist, I offer four different kind of services, for: • Setting up, improving, industrializing and/or maintaining your ML algorithm in your product, • Managing your data, treating it, extracting statistics from it and/or setting up business KPIs, • Assisting you to help you hire excellent permanent Data Engineers and Data Scientists, • Doing a Proof of Concept (POC), Please contact me by private message for more information.
