Hugo Robert is a data scientist based in Paris with 18 years of engineering experience blending machine learning, backend development, and security. At Datadog he has designed low-latency anomaly detection pipelines, built a meta-classification framework to pick the best detector per time series, and benchmarked classical methods against transformer models with an eye for explainability and cost-efficient deployment. His background spans penetration testing and automated IAM-vulnerability tooling, full-stack web integration, and embedded IoT design—evidencing a rare mix of offensive security, applied ML, and devices. An active contributor to open-source .NET tooling, he improved F# support in the SharpDevelop IDE and helped harden Datadog’s .NET tracing client with Cosmos DB support and better DB command handling. Quiet off-hours (self-described “batperson”), he pairs rigorous academic training from ENS Paris-Saclay and EPFL with practical, production-focused problem solving.
