David Cournapeau

Senior engineering manager with 15+ years experience in scientific computing and machine learning. Keen interest in open source technologies. Former core contributor to numpy, scipy, and started the scikit learn project.

I have built software teams from scratch, delivering both SaaS and Deep Learning/ML-based products. Depending on the business and organizational needs, I can be more hands on, down to IC, or focus more on architecture, designing solution with the product owners, and maintaining an healthy relationship between engineering and the rest of the organization.

Specialties: Machine Learning, Programming (Python, C, Unix), statistics, audio signal processing.

Formerly worked in academia in the domain of statistical learning and speech processing: my interests were machine learning, their computational aspects as well its theoretical foundations.
