Summary
Rémi Cura is a Principal Data Scientist in Boston with 15 years of multidisciplinary experience building scalable data systems, from research prototypes to production databases handling hundreds of millions of rows. He blends deep academic training (PhD in geographic information science) with hands-on roles across data science, engineering and architecture—designing backends-for-backends, optimizing PostGIS workflows, and structuring noisy medical labeling pipelines that aggregate crowd wisdom into supra-human labels. Comfortable leading teams and shipping reproducible systems, he has a track record of turning hard, uncertain problems (historical geocoding, Lidar/point-cloud processing, medical annotation) into usable, efficient tools. Unusually, he pairs this technical breadth with craftsmanship: a certified cabinetmaker and maker of physical objects, bringing a pragmatic, design-oriented mindset to software and data problems.
