Summary
José Barrachina is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 10 years of experience building production-grade ML systems and a Ph.D. in Machine Learning from CentraleSupélec. He combines strong software engineering discipline (SOLID, design patterns, TDD) with hands-on ML delivery—designing microservices, CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, and dataset/model tracking that have driven multiple company-wide wins at Safran. His research on complex-valued neural networks produced 9+ publications and an open-source library with 150k+ pip downloads, demonstrating rare impact across both academia and industry. Skilled in object detection, signal and voice processing, and increasingly in LLMs and agentic AI, he consistently ships high-performance solutions ahead of schedule. Notably, he achieved top placements in competitive challenges (Safran Data Challenge, J.P. Morgan Hackathon) and was recognized for technical communication and community influence with a most-upvoted ML paper on Reddit. Now based in Paris, he seeks to collaborate with experienced engineers to scale impactful ML products across finance, spatial tech, and industrial domains.
