Hello, I'm Romain A Data Scientist and Web Developer Based in Montreal

Download resume

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.
