Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Schanet is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years’ experience who blends a Physics PhD and CERN-scale data science background with hands-on cloud-native engineering to deliver production-ready, scalable systems. At UBS he led the migration of a critical lending risk and portfolio platform to Azure, introducing microservices, Kubernetes-based batch processing, and dramatic improvements in scalability and data latency. His work at LMU/CERN combined machine learning, novel statistical approximations (250x CPU improvements), and containerized distributed workflows for petabyte-scale analysis—skills he now applies to financial risk and engineering operational excellence. Comfortable owning applications end-to-end, he repeatedly raises team velocity via CI/CD, testing and automation, and brings uncommon expertise in translating complex quantitative research into robust, low-latency production services.
