Edouard Mehlman is Head of Machine Learning at Feedly with a decade of experience building production ML and NLP systems and leading small engineering teams. He blends research-quality expertise in variational inference, normalizing flows and deep generative models—developed at Berkeley and ENS—with hands-on engineering: backend development, test automation, deployment and profiling. His open-source contributions include improving test suites and architecture for scvi-tools, a well-regarded library for probabilistic single-cell omics analysis, reflecting a strong focus on reliability and reproducibility. Comfortable bridging academia and product, he has delivered anomaly-detection and time-series solutions in industry research settings and scaled ML features for content understanding at Feedly. A former physics teacher and cadet officer, he brings disciplined mentorship and clear communication to complex technical challenges.
