Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Oulianov is a data scientist and founding engineer with six years of experience turning ML research into production-ready systems across startups and consulting firms. He has built end-to-end products—from a mobile carpooling app and backend services to deployment pipelines for transformer models—combining hands-on software engineering with applied machine learning. His background spans entrepreneurship (Ynstant, phospho), strategy-led analytics at QuantumBlack/McKinsey, and research internships at Criteo and Foundamental, reflecting strength in contextual advertising, NLP, and GenAI. Educated at Télécom Paris, Institut Polytechnique and HEC Paris, he pairs rigorous technical depth with business sensibility and has shipped features that measurably improved metrics (e.g., boosted contextual ad visits threefold in offline tests). Based in Paris with international experience in Berlin and San Francisco, he seeks to accelerate adoption of cutting-edge AI in real products while remaining an active practitioner (see github.com/oulianov).
