Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas George is a research scientist and machine learning engineer with 13 years of experience bridging theoretical AI and practical, socially-minded applications. Trained in mathematics, data science and AI at institutions including Mines Paris and MILA, he pursues foundational questions about intelligence while building robust models and embedded systems for environmental and social impact. His background spans backend engineering, test automation and time-series analysis, with notable open-source contributions to Theano (now PyTensor) improving linear algebra and GPU routines. He has led product development from prototype mobile apps to predictive analytics projects and has hands-on experience in scripting large-scale time-series middleware. Based in Paris with Canadian ties, he blends rigorous academic research (PhD-level applied mathematics) with pragmatic engineering and a clear ethical focus away from commercial recommendation systems. An often-overlooked strength is his history of low-level numerical and GPU work that enables reliable, high-performance ML tooling.
