Florian Laurent is a machine learning engineer and founding-team technologist based in Switzerland with 12 years of experience building and deploying large-scale ML systems. He has co-founded and scaled companies that train and serve state-of-the-art text-to-image and language models, orchestrating multi-million-step training runs and shipping products used in iOS charts and open-source model releases. His background spans from high-throughput data systems at CERN and full-stack engineering in finance to leading ML research and industry collaborations for railway planning and large LLMs, including an open-source 6B French model that outperformed GPT-3 on several benchmarks. Comfortable across infrastructure, model engineering, and product, he has hands-on experience with GPU clusters, Kubernetes, Terraform, Redis/Postgres APIs, and production inference at scale. Notably, he combines entrepreneurial grit with research-grade rigor, repeatedly turning complex research problems into reliable, customer-facing systems.
