About

I’m a Senior Data Scientist at BackMarket, the leading marketplace for refurbished electronics with over 15 million customers. I develop our core machine learning algorithms—this involves hands-on development as well as leading design discussions, collaborating with product teams, and mentoring junior data scientists. With a dual degree from HEC Paris and ENSAE ParisTech, I combine strong statistical expertise with a business-oriented mindset. Before BackMarket, I worked at Tesla and Société Générale, turning data into actionable insights at scale.
