My academic background is in science, engineering, and business — Supelec (MSc Elec. Eng. & AI), Ecole Centrale Nantes (MSc Mech. Eng. & Bioinformatics), MIT (MBA), and more.
I started my career as an AI scientist in Houston, TX, at a research center associated with NASA. Back in the mid-80’s, my neural network algorithms were running on the then fastest and costliest supercomputer, and they managed to do only very simple things. We have come such a long way!
My personal experience is a combination of a scientific background, and computational and analytical skills. In a previous life I raised USD 650MM for my “Fintech” venture, although the field was not called Fintech at the time; I was what the finance industry called a “Wall Street quant” at the turn of century.
In those days, people with backgrounds in physics and math devised entirely new algorithms and data strategies to provide banks with an edge.
Today, everyone hears about the need for data scientists to help every kind of business, because everyone has a big data problem.
Solving that problem for “Main Street” was the opportunity for Mentorica. At Mentorica you have folks like me who are passionate about data, AI, math, machines, and building things to solve problems.
