Summary
Jean-denis Spinel is a linguist-engineer with 10 years of experience applying computational linguistics and language processing to real-world projects across academia, public service and education. Trained at UCLouvain and UPMC in TAL/NLP, he led the software component of the ANR-funded Phoebus project—optimizing similarity detection, multilingual processing and large-scale data handling. He has combined research-grade tool development (including a Praat add-on during early work) with hands-on IT operations as a systems/network administrator, giving him a pragmatic edge when moving prototypes into production. Recently serving as Agent EMATT for Région Réunion, he also brings community-facing experience teaching children programming logic with Scratch and using VR for engagement. Comfortable bridging meetings, coding and user-facing deployment, he focuses on scalable, language-aware software that surfaces subtle linguistic patterns often missed by standard pipelines.
