Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVincent Viers is a software engineer and data scientist with eight years of experience building production-ready data platforms, ML pipelines, and cloud-native products across French public-sector missions and private consultancies. He blends hands-on full‑stack development—contributing UI and backend improvements to notable open-source projects like Grist—with formal training in applied social data science from LSE and dual bachelor’s studies at UC Berkeley and Sciences Po. In roles from product director at DINUM to developer and product lead at ANCTerritoires and beta.gouv.fr, he has combined product leadership with deep technical execution (CI/CD, cloud architecture, big‑data engineering). Comfortable moving between Python, R, and cloud environments, he focuses on pragmatic, auditable solutions for government and civic tech. An intriguing throughline: he pairs econometrics and large-scale geo‑spatial analysis experience with practical developer experience, making him equally fluent in statistical rigor and user-facing engineering.
