ABOUT ME

I'm a Human Centered Data Scientist

I’ve worked in academic and business settings, at times doing more right brain work (imagining concepts, designing games, writing stories and the likes) and at times performing more left brain work (analyzing data, devising research protocols, programming scripts).

Collaborating with research, product development, product design, engineering, and marketing departments encompasses the multiple sides of my personality and use my expertise at a very high level.

Specializing in

I bring together my expertise in statistical data analyses, programming (hello Machine Learning!), human factors, research and user centered methodology to help teams and companies develop products that people will use, enjoy and love!

Data Science

I analyze data using various statistical analyses (descriptive and inferential, time series, on quantitative & qualitative data). Python, R and SQL are central to my toolbox. I have working knowledge of machine learning (scikit-learn) and Big Data (Spark, PySpark)

Programming

I develop various types of interactive systems : websites (WordPress, HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, ReactJS, NodeJS), custom scripts (PHP, Python), databases (MySQL, SQLite) and servers (Linux, Apache, Nginx).

Human centered

Thanks to a Ph.D. in Psychology, I have an expertise in human factors (ergonomics, psychometrics, experience design, interaction design) and research methodologies.

Education

I hold a Ph.D in General Psychology (University of Lausanne, Switzerland) where I developed novel statistical approaches for human centered research. I also hold a Master degree in Cognitive Science (from the prestigious École Polytechnique de Paris). When I was a University Professor (U of Montreal), I taught human factors (interaction & experience design), computing workshops and research methodology. I was responsible for the launch of the first Canadian university graduate program in game design.
