Summary
Felix Labelle is an NLP-focused engineering manager with nine years of experience building and deploying domain-adapted language models and production services for compliance and environmental risk applications. He combines hands-on modelling (PyTorch, sequence tagging, IR, QA) with practical system delivery—leading annotation and active learning efforts, building front-end prototypes, and deploying models via Docker/Kubernetes-backed APIs. At PwC he led a team that instruction-tuned an LLM to cut inference costs by 90% while improving task performance, and his startup experience shows a knack for data engineering and UX-driven search interfaces. Trained at Carnegie Mellon in Language Technologies and with a background in embedded systems and audio at NASA, he brings a rare mix of research rigor and product-oriented engineering. He’s particularly strong at translating ambiguous requirements into measurable evaluation and implementation choices that save time and scale across teams.
