Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexandre Vallette is an entrepreneur and scientist with 12 years of experience building data-driven products and hardware for civic and environmental impact. He founded Snips to apply predictive modeling to smart cities, co-founded an open-innovation lab (WeAreAnts) that combined AI, open-data and embedded intelligence, and now leads Gouach to develop repairable, eco-friendly electric batteries. Trained with dual master’s degrees in aerodynamics and theoretical physics and a PhD from École Normale Supérieure, he blends deep academic rigor with hands-on engineering—from finite element codes to sensor swarms. He contributes to open-source tooling and test automation practices (e.g., improving pycel’s test suite), reflecting a focus on reliable, production-ready systems. Based in Marseille, he uniquely pairs systems-level optimization skills with a passion for tangible, repairable hardware that addresses climate challenges.
