Eliot Andres is a Paris-based co-founder and former CTO with 11 years of experience building production-grade computer vision and scalable ML systems for consumer-facing photo editing at PhotoRoom. He transitioned from leading engineering to an individual contributor role to focus on high-impact AI problems, bringing hands-on expertise in TensorFlow, large-scale image pipelines (100M+ images/month), and mobile inference (TensorFlow Lite/Core ML). Eliot has a strong engineering foundation from Télécom Paris and École des Ponts, and a track record of cost-efficient GPU training and production deployments that drove real-world product impact. His open-source contributions include fine-tuning CNN models in a Packt-published computer vision repo, reflecting practical model improvements like architectural tweaks to reduce overfitting. Equally comfortable architecting back-end systems handling billions of events and optimizing model pipelines, he blends startup leadership with deep implementation skills.
