Top School

Elie Bakouch is an ML research engineer based in Paris with three years of hands-on experience focused on pre-training and advancing open science, currently contributing at Hugging Face. With dual MSc training in Machine Learning from PSL Research University and École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay and an engineering background from Télécom SudParis, he combines solid theoretical foundations with practical model training expertise. He specializes in large-scale training workflows and reproducible research practices that bridge academia and production. Elie is motivated by open collaboration and tooling that make state-of-the-art models and datasets more accessible to the community. An often-overlooked strength is his grounding in rigorous maths and engineering from French CPGE and engineering school training, which informs careful experimental design and scalable implementations.
