Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolThibaut Cuvelier is a software engineer and operations research specialist with 15 years of experience applying mathematical optimization to real-world logistics and planning problems. Based in Paris, he develops solvers for Google Cloud Fleet Routing and contributes to the open-source OR-Tools ecosystem, combining production-grade engineering with deep algorithmic know-how. His research blends optimization and reinforcement learning—particularly the interplay between mathematical programming and bandit algorithms—stemming from a PhD and applied projects in network routing, production planning, and reservoir management. A committed open-source contributor, he has improved core functionality in JuMP and polished documentation for widely used projects like Qt tools, showing attention to both algorithms and developer experience. Comfortable teaching and producing reproducible research, he often releases tooling and code alongside academic work, making advanced models practically deployable.
