Hakim Cheikh is a data scientist and engineer based in Nantes with eight years of experience building and productionizing ML solutions across transport, public sector, and enterprise clients. He has a strong track record delivering scalable pipelines and models—from map-matching and passenger-affluence forecasting for RATP to fraud and NLP proofs-of-concept at the AMF—often optimizing compute to process daily fleet-scale GPS feeds. Comfortable across Python, R and cloud stacks (AWS, Azure), he has led migrations, operationalized daily processing, and structured data science projects for long-term maintainability. His background from École Centrale de Nantes and early R&D work in computer vision and healthcare risk modeling give him both solid theoretical grounding and practical domain breadth. Known for translating research prototypes into reliable production services, he combines hands-on optimization skills with a practitioner’s focus on deployment and observability.
