Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Porcel is a software engineer with 12 years of experience applying machine learning and scalable systems to real-world problems, currently working at Google DeepMind after building AI-driven drug discovery platforms at Isomorphic Labs. He has deep practical experience across C++, Java, Python and performance-critical cloud systems, having optimized high-throughput revenue-management pipelines and implemented CUDA-powered algorithms earlier in his career. Nicolas combines research-grade training (Master of Computing, NUS; engineering degree from Supelec) with hands-on product engineering—designing scalable simulations, frontends in Angular and end-to-end platforms for agent training in Unity. He thrives at the intersection of ML research and production engineering, shipping state-of-the-art models and the infrastructure needed to run them at scale. Based in London, he brings a track record of turning complex scientific problems into deployable software and a background of rapid prototyping from his R&D internships. An understated strength is his fluency across low-level optimization and high-level ML systems, enabling both algorithmic innovation and cost-conscious production deployments.
