Back to original languageAbout Adrien
Looking for an expert capable of transforming a complex scientific or technical problem into a reliable and exploitable software solution? I support R&D teams, laboratories, deeptech startups, and engineering departments in the development of numerical models, scientific computing software, and advanced data solutions.
With a PhD in fluid mechanics and as a lead scientific software developer, I have over 10 years of experience in projects with high mathematical and algorithmic intensity. I notably worked at the Blue Brain Project (EPFL) on the large-scale generation of synthetic neuronal morphologies, in close collaboration with researchers and engineers.
What I bring to you
- Translation of scientific or business needs into robust numerical models
- Development of performant, maintainable, and tested code
- Improvement of the quality, performance, and readability of existing code
- Effective interface between scientists, developers, and technical decision-makers
- Methodological rigor from research, with a strong focus on validation
Areas of expertise
- Scientific computing and numerical modeling
- Particle methods, Lagrangian models, multi-scale simulations
- Data science and synthetic data generation
- Python (NumPy, Pandas, PyTorch, Dask), high-performance C/C++
- Geometric and spatial data processing
Types of missions
- Development of simulators and predictive models
- Prototyping and industrialization of numerical models
- Data processing and analysis pipelines
- Optimization and parallelization (CPU, MPI)
- Code modernization, refactoring, and scientific code validation
- Technical documentation and user support
I work on consulting missions, exploratory prototypes, and long-term developments, with a high standard for scientific and software quality.
