Hi there 👋 I’m Antoine Déchappe, Lead ML Engineer

Who am I ?

As an end-to-end ML Engineer, I’m driven to solve complex problems and unlock the value hidden within them. I possess the soul of a treasure seeker, powered by a strong mathematical background, technical agility, and interpersonal skills. My journey in Data Science & Machine Learning began nearly 10 years ago in my bedroom. It has since progressed through earning an MSc. in AI from the University of Glasgow and a MSc. in Statistical Engineering from Mines Douai. I continue to pursue this path with the same intellectual curiosity and freshness.
