Hire the Best Data Scientists
in Switzerland

I'm a Scientist expert in data science, data analytics in multiple domains (biomedical images, biology datasets, big data analytics)

I’m Albane, I build the AI and data tools that help businesses move faster. With a background from Mines Paris - PSL and experience inside high-stakes finance teams, my work is defined by the principle that technology should be a profit center, not an overhead cost. Recently, I helped a client save over $120,000 in yearly overhead by replacing their manual data entry with custom LLM agents. Whether it’s launching a full-stack app from scratch or building a BI dashboard that actually makes sense of your marketing spend, my goal is to turn your complex data into a clear roadmap for growth. Having worked across pharma, marketing, and fintech, I’ve seen that every industry has hidden "data debt" that can be automated. I use a mix of Python, Claude Code and automation tools to build systems that are both sophisticated and easy for your team to use. If you’re looking for a proactive partner who can handle the heavy lifting and deliver real ROI, I’d love to see how I can help your project.

🚀 Expert AI & Full-Stack Developer | NLP, RAG, and Machine Learning Specialist Detail-oriented and highly skilled software developer with a deep specialization in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and advanced data analysis. I bring a strong foundation in AI development, with proficiency in a wide range of programming languages and tools, including Python, PyTorch, LangChain, and LangGraph. 🔍 What I Offer: Cutting-Edge NLP Solutions: From chatbots to AI-driven research tools, I excel in building robust NLP systems that deliver accurate and context-aware responses. RAG Expertise: Skilled in developing high-performance Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems, integrating embeddings, vector databases, and generative models for complex information retrieval tasks. Full-Stack Capabilities: Proficient in backend and API development (Python, Django, FastAPI), with front-end experience in JavaScript frameworks (React, Next.js) for complete end-to-end solutions. Seamless Remote Collaboration: Proven track record of working with international clients and remote teams, ensuring efficient project delivery and excellent communication.

I am a senior financial and systems architect with a rare, 15-year career built at the intersection of institutional finance and full-stack development. I don't just analyze business problems; I architect and build the robust, end-to-end software solutions that solve them permanently. My expertise is in designing and building the "AI core" and data infrastructure for high-stakes financial and operational systems. I specialize in projects that require a deep, first-principles understanding of the business logic (from M&A valuation to derivative modeling) and the hands-on engineering skill to build the production-grade applications that bring that logic to life. Whether you need a complex financial model, a multi-API data pipeline, or a complete, AI-driven web application, I deliver institutional-grade solutions that are scalable, auditable, and built for real-world decision-making. Core Competencies (What I Deliver): Full-Stack Application Development: Architecting and building complete, end-to-end internal tools and data applications. This includes: Backend & API Architecture: Designing and building robust backend services, multi-REST API integrations, and LLM orchestration engines using Python (FastAPI, Django) and SQL/NoSQL databases. Frontend & UI/UX: Creating clean, intuitive, and interactive web-based applications and dashboards using Streamlit and other modern frameworks to allow non-technical users to execute complex scripts and analysis. Quantitative Finance & Modeling: Building institutional-grade financial models from the ground up, including M&A valuation, project finance, derivatives, and sophisticated stochastic models (Monte Carlo simulations) for risk analysis. AI & Machine Learning Engineering: Designing and implementing production-ready AI pipelines, from custom ML models for predictive forecasting to RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems for intelligent document analysis and automated reporting. Financial Systems & Data Architecture: Architecting and managing the data pipelines, consolidation logic, and reporting frameworks for complex, multi-entity global organizations (140+ entities, 51 countries). Technical Skillset (The "How"): Languages & Frameworks: Python (Expert), SQL (Expert), C++, Java (Spring Boot), JavaScript Backend & APIs: FastAPI, Django, REST API Design & Orchestration, LLM Integration (OpenAI) Frontend & BI: Streamlit, React.js (Proficient), Power BI, Looker Studio Databases: PostgreSQL, DuckDB, MongoDB, SQLite Data Science & ML: Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, PyTorch, LangChain, LlamaIndex Legacy & Enterprise: Advanced Excel, VBA, SAP BFC, HFM I thrive on architecting solutions to complex, data-intensive challenges. My unique value is my ability to operate as a true hybrid: a senior finance professional who can think at a strategic level and a full-stack engineer who can build the production-grade tools to execute that strategy. Let's build something robust, intelligent, and valuable together.

I'm a freelance quant / programmer / researcher. For some of my past projects, see github.com/michaelhodel
