Hello, I'm Romain A Data Scientist and Web Developer Based in Montreal
In my day-to-day work, I implement, interpret and deploy machine learning models and statistical analysis that help the decision-making process. While my training is more geared toward data science, I also design websites, interactive dashboards and effective data visualisations built on modern technologies that scale well with large and complex use cases.
My abilities as a data scientist are rooted in a sturdy education in biomechanics, a scientific field featuring complex spatiotemporal data, advanced statistical models and a strong mathematical component. I recently completed my PhD in biomechanics, during which I published about 20 scientific papers and international presentations, taught university courses and developed several open source software.
Outside of work, I am a road cyclist. Several years of competition in this sport have taught me to focus on what I can control and to be able to adapt, execute and perform in any situation.
Skills
As a data scientist and web developer, I turn raw data into relevant and understandable insights. My goal is to help make good decisions based on objective data. Here are some of the technologies I use on a daily basis.
Data Science
Python, Numpy, Pandas, PyMC3, Scikit-learn, PyTorch
DevOps
Git, GitHub, Linux, Bash, Azure, AWS, Docker
Backend
Mongo DB, SQL, Fast API, Flask, Rest
Frontend

Experiences
Data scientist technical lead
CAE Inc.
As a Data Scientist Technical Lead at CAE, I hold a dynamic position within the AI Strategy team.
My responsibilities span across leading and managing a team in the CAE Rise project, where I wore the hat of a Product Owner, steering the development of an innovative data-driven pilot training system.
Simultaneously, my expertise as a data scientist has been instrumental in the Predictive Maintenance project, where I engage in sophisticated feature engineering, robust model building, and the development of intuitive dashboards.
Alongside these pivotal roles, I embrace the responsibilities of mentorship, advocating code best practices, and lending my insights to refine code architecture and data processing strategies. With a steadfast commitment to innovation and the pursuit of excellence, my role is at the intersection of leadership and advanced technical proficiency.
