Summary
Agnes Van Belle is an Applied Research Manager at eBay with 13 years of data science and machine learning experience, specializing in natural language processing and productionizing models at scale. With an M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Amsterdam, she combines rigorous statistical foundations and software engineering to deliver robust ML systems across marketplaces, healthcare, and recruitment domains. Her career spans hands-on research, team leadership and line management roles where she built DL-based semantic search, text extraction services, and automated ML pipelines that directly improved product metrics. She has repeatedly moved prototypes into production—having led search R&D, extraction and ranking initiatives and implemented multilingual deployment strategies. Based in Berlin, she pairs technical depth with people leadership, coaching teams to adopt reproducible workflows and measurable experimentation. A pragmatic problem-solver, she often surfaces overlooked data and feedback loops (e.g., document-level extraction improvements and tracking) to drive sustained model performance.
