About Simon

I help you transform your sensor and human signal data into reliable data tools.

I work with medtech, sporttech, ergonomics, occupational health, or human movement teams that collect field data that is difficult to exploit: sensors, IMUs, EMGs, motion capture, force, movement, experimental data, or product data.

I will guide you in moving from scattered files, isolated scripts, or manual analyses to a clear, reliable, and maintainable data system.

I can assist with:

- Structuring and cleaning sensor data
- Automating Python and SQL processes
- Creating data pipelines
- Extracting actionable features and metrics
- Improving the reliability of existing R&D analyses
- Creating dashboards for product, trial, or user monitoring
- Transitioning from a scientific prototype to an industrializable data tool.

My profile combines corporate data engineering, signal processing, and human movement science at a high scientific level (PhD). This allows me to understand both:
- The technical constraints of real-world data: noise, human variability, protocols, sensor quality,
- Operational needs: readable metrics, maintainable tools, useful dashboards, and reliable data for decision-making.

The goal of my interventions is to make your sensor data truly usable to improve a product, monitor trials, drive business, or demonstrate value.

Working with Simon was a pleasure! He well-respected the deadline, was very communicative and brought a lot of technical knowledge about data but also is a super strong writer. I highly recommend :)

Thank you Simon for this great restitution work. I think the breakdown (transcript) could have been simplified further to have a fluid video, less loaded with information. I will try to show you the result so you can see. Regarding the restitution, don't hesitate for next time to rephrase in writing the verbatim (we can "simplify" and restructure an oral verbatim into a "smoother" written version). Happy to work with you again on a similar topic very soon.
