Top SchoolLaurent Jakubina is a Senior Search Relevance Developer with a PhD in NLP and a decade of experience building production-ready language technologies and search systems. He blends roles as a functional analyst, developer and scientist to translate clinician and product stakeholder needs into robust NLP features, from POCs to medical-device–grade releases. At Imagia/Canexia he led event-driven microservice design for language pipelines and championed text search, patient population builders and clinical-trial recommendation experiments.
