Background

Rodrigue got recruited at the ISEA laboratory as a Data Scientist. He got assigned to the following project: Analysis of freshwater and groundwater data in New Caledonia. During the project, Rodrigue used various statistic methods in order to define a threshold of potability of the water in New Caledonia. He also developed a user-friendly interface to visualize his analysis (including maps, statistical tests, PCA, …).

During this period, Rodrigue also had the opportunity to integrate the Data Science research team. At the end, he got involved in two research publications (in Time Series Clustering and in Computer Vision).

His work environment: Python (Tensorflow, sklearn, seaborn, plotly, dash, …), Jupyter notebook framework, QGIS, Microsoft Access.

To validate his degree, Rodrigue did a 6-months internship in a data-driven marketing SME. He was assigned to a Deep Learning project. More specifically, Rodrigue had to create a Deep Learning based Object detection model to detect residential pools from satellite images. During the internship, Rodrigue had to process over 200M images (~2TB of data). With his optimized algorithms, he went from 5 years of expected processing to 2 months of processing, which was congratulated from the entire R&D staff.

His work environment: Python (Tensorflow, PyTorch, sklearn, seaborn, plotly, …), Jupyter notebook framework, QGIS.

Rodrigue got his Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics in 2019 at the University of Bordeaux (France). During his degree, among other classes, he got to explore theoretical aspect of Deep Learning, stochastic algorithms, methods used in Computer Vision and Signal Processing, Data Mining methods, and High dimensional statistics.

Rodrigue received his Master's degree with honors.

Rodrigue got his Bachelor’s degree in Applied Math and Computer Science in 2017 at the University of Bordeaux (France). During his degree, he got to explore various aspects of Mathematics and Computer Science.

In the field of Mathematics, among other classes, Rodrigue took classes of inferential statistics, econometrics, topology, and linear algebra.

In the field of Computer Science, Rodrigue got to learn various programming languages. He has an expertise in Python, R and SQL but he also has the basics in \(\LaTeX\), MATLAB, SAS, Java, HTML, CSS, and PHP.

Rodrigue received his Bachelor's degree with honors.
