Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn De Wasseige is a founding engineer with 12 years of experience building software and AI systems to accelerate materials discovery, currently leading product and engineering efforts at Osium AI (YC S23) from Paris. Previously he was a technical lead and forward-deployed software engineer at Palantir, where he combined client-facing problem solving with scalable system delivery. He holds advanced training in applied mathematics, data science and environmental science from top European schools and brings a strong ML and optimization background from roles at Celonis and RegTech startups. Comfortable across full-stack and backend workflows, he has hands-on experience in build and release integration (evident from GitHub activity) and academic teaching and research, including work on privacy and network protocols. That mix of product-first engineering, quantitative rigor, and interdisciplinary curiosity makes him adept at turning research-grade models into production-ready discovery platforms.
