Summary
Jules Van Rie is Head of Data Science & AI Content at Le Wagon and a seasoned problem-solver who blends 15+ years of finance, regulatory and consulting experience with hands-on data science education. He designs and maintains intensive bootcamp curricula while teaching Python, SQL, ML and engineering topics to international cohorts in English and French. Prior roles across ING and BNP Paribas gave him deep expertise in regulatory programs, transaction monitoring, and turning complex legal requirements into pragmatic technical and reporting solutions. He pairs an engineering mindset (trained as a civil engineer) with practical coding roots that go back through C++, Java and even AmigaBasic, which informs his ability to translate legacy constraints into modern data workflows. Known for rapidly shipping useful tools under pressure—such as a bespoke political tour tracker built in days—he thrives where tight deadlines and messy requirements demand clear, auditable solutions. Based in Brussels, he combines classroom leadership with real-world banking experience to prepare practitioners for production-ready data work.
