About me

I am a chief data officer, operating at the intersection of complex networks, agent-based models, and fintech. I have designed adaptive agents simulations for socio-economic systems, and scaled data architecture.

After a decade in quantitative economics and computational research, I completed my PhD degree in Computer Science at the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, specializing in graph theory and network dynamics. Since then, I have transitioned into C-level and senior advisory roles, leading cross-functional data science/engineering, explainable AI (xAI), and analytics teams.

Fun fact: my Erdős number is 3, by the route Erdős-Lovász-Karsai.

1. The Swarm Development Group (SDG) is an American non-profit organization to advance the development of complex adaptive system-oriented agent-based modeling (ABM) tools initiated at the Santa Fe Institute (SFI) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, US. It was formed in 1999 by a group of multidisciplinary scientists, researchers, and software developers, led by Chris Langton. Langton was also the founder of the emerging field of research called artificial life. The initial, primary, role for the SDG was to house continued development of the Swarm simulation software after the software become independent of the SFI in 1999 (from Wikipedia).
