Hi, I'm Vincent Houlbrèque

Work experience

Lead Data Engineer @ Withings | 2019 - Present

I currently work in the Machine Learning team, where I am responsible for the data pipeline, tools and systems that support the development and deployment of machine learning models. I also work on data visualization and have developed embedded algorithms.

Among my projects:

Implemented a data pipeline to collect data from patients using Raspberry Pis for internal campaigns.
Developed a production-used Medical Campaign Dataset Manager.
Created and maintained a wide variety of tools (API wrappers, logging helpers, data manipulation, ...) for the entire company.
Implemented and monitored the data pipeline for the BPM Core product.
Migrated the codebase of internal dashboards from custom JS to Python-based Streamlit.
Greatly improved the development workflow of the entire team (usage of GitLab, code-reviews, CI/CD, internal documentation, ...).
Developed a core internal library to automatically generate tailor-made CI/CD pipelines for each project and reduce time-to-deployment by several orders of magnitude.
Participated in the development of a simple repository to provide a self-hosted pip compatible Python package server.
Developed a filter in C for the BeamO stethoscope sounds.
