Summary
Jean-marc Ruffalo-burgat is a software engineer with eight years of experience building data-driven web platforms and distributed systems, currently at Meta and based in New York. He founded JMB Ventures and grew a soccer prediction platform from an Excel prototype into a live product with over a billion match and player data points and thousands of daily users, blending ML models with practical betting-algorithm tooling. His projects span end-to-end engineering—including scalable databases, Spark-based job-scraping analytics, and a block-based SQL query builder that lowers the barrier between questions and production queries. He has hands-on experience as a TA and research assistant teaching distributed systems and low-level programming, and has shipped production features at firms like Fidelity and Chronicle Technologies. Notably, he leverages large, real-world datasets (podcast transcripts, Spotify data) to build niche but useful tools like a speech-timing estimator, reflecting a knack for turning unconventional data into user-facing insight. Practical, curious, and product-focused, he combines entrepreneurial drive with experience in scalable data engineering and ML-enabled applications.
