À propos de Pauline

Data Scientist / Analytics Engineer – Product & ML at scale

Senior Data Scientist & Analytics Engineer, graduate of École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (Data Science track), with 8+ years of experience building and scaling data and ML systems in demanding tech environments (Deezer, Leboncoin / Adevinta).

I help product teams turn data into reliable insights and production-grade ML features, from analytics foundations to large-scale recommendation and personalization systems.

Expertise
  • Machine Learning: recommendation systems, ranking, personalization, deep learning, scoring, (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn), LLMs / GenAI
  • Analytics Engineering: SQL-first data modeling, analytics pipelines, data quality & metrics
  • Production & MLOps: CI/CD, monitoring, scalability, low-latency systems
I previously worked as an Engineering Manager on data & ML-heavy products, which allows me to deliver autonomously, communicate clearly with stakeholders, and design solutions that actually ship and scale.

Typical missions
  • Senior Data Scientist (product, ML, recommender systems)
  • Analytics Engineer (data modeling, decision support)
