Bonjour / Hi. I'm a product engineer living in Montreal, Canada. I study machine learning and build AI-driven products. I have helped a handful of startups get acquired.
I'm also a great enthusiast of functional programming. I won't be able to fix your printer.
On the side you'll find me taking pictures, nursing my plants and playing video games. I'm also a bearer of Tinnitus. I even took a photo of a bear that became famous on Unsplash and was published. You can learn a bit more about me reading this post.
I'm currently working with the folks at Unsplash and create the future of open photography. Formely at Crew, Transit, Automat.
