About Romain
I have 12+ years experience in AI & ML, data science and bioinformatics.
I started my career in software engineering, working with fast-paced London startups before transitioning into data science, where I have successfully operated as an independent contractor for more than eight years. I broadened my expertise by embarking on a part-time PhD in Computational Biology at Imperial College London, while successfully supporting myself with data science contracts. I completed the program in 2025
