Summary
Lucas Le Ray is a founder and AI-driven software engineer based in Paris with nine years of experience building decision-support and data-centric applications for political organizations and enterprise clients. He combines hands-on machine learning deployment, cloud-native engineering (AWS, serverless), and full-stack development to move models from prototype to production and to operationalize data pipelines and monitoring. As founder of Basalt Intelligence and Lead AI at Augur Advisory, he focuses on opinion modeling and decision tooling that blend technical rigor with real-world political use cases. Previously he led engineering at Transpare and consulted as a machine learning engineer at nibble.ai, where he also trained teams on ML industrialization—an emphasis that sets him apart from purely research-focused practitioners. Known for thinking deeply about problems (and, by his own admission, reading more than coding), he brings product sensibility and pedagogical clarity to complex technical projects.
