Back to original languageAbout Maxime
I excel at creating products from scratch by mastering various aspects (data engineering, backend, frontend, deployment, ...) and can guide you from the ideation phase to a first version.
A versatile Software Engineer, I single-handedly built the data infrastructure for a Parisian investment fund, helping them rank among the top 20 globally in their vertical alongside major US funds (Sequoia, a16z).
This project involved a significant data engineering component (web scraping at scale, data ingestion & processing, entity reconciliation) as well as statistical/AI components (implementing a scoring system to rank the best investment opportunities, using LLMs + embeddings + clustering for dynamic sector definition), along with frontend/data visualization and the entire thought process on information hierarchy and explainability.
Additionally, I've worked on many personal projects (chatbots, automation, ...), have good knowledge of easily deployable open-source solutions for faster product development when possible (e.g., n8n, twentyCRM, ...), and have already built several fully functional startup MVPs in short cycles of 2-3 weeks.
