Bruno Oberle, computational linguist and developer

Python & Web Developer

Python developer with 5 years of experience, I have been working at a cybersecurity firm for 2 years. I have worked 3 years with machine learning techniques applied to textual data processing (NLP). I mostly use Python and JavaScript, with Flask and Django, but I also have experiences with Java, C/C++, Go and Perl.

I develop SaaS application back-ends with Python, for example:

  • a workflow management system for an Android application automatic analysis service,
  • an application for collaborative edition of audit reports,
  • complete HR solution.

I also work on the front-end of some projects with JavaScript, for example:

  • interactive map of servers and domains,
  • report editor user interface,
  • corpus annotation web application.

At Strasbourg University, I integrated machine learning algorithms for natural language processing (NLP). I have published several scientific papers.

I also gave computer science and linguistics courses to bachelor and master students.

I pay close attention to code quality (clean code, automated tests) and secure web development (writing code that is not vulnerable to cyber attacks).

I like technical challenges, they teach me new things. I'm currently learning Go and Haskell.

Other education and experiences

From June 2000 to June 2002, I was a part-time cleaning person for ARSEA in the area of Colmar, France. This was a high-school job. From February 2006 to June 2006, I was a photograph for Pictural, again in the area of Colmar. I made photographs for marriages, parties, etc. I also helped in the store.

I was also the secretary for two associations: the “Centre de Création Image et Son” in Colmar (an association for short movie directors and photographers, about 60 members, from 2002 to 2007); and the “Amicale des Étudiants en Philosophie de Strasbourg” (a student association, from 2005 to 2006). I made the website (at the time) of both associations.

I also started studying history at Marc Bloch University (Strasbourg II), but I got ill and had to stay home for a while. I used this time to teach myself how to code, especially in C, C++, C# and in Perl. Some of my projects, especially those in C#, date back to this period. I also teach myself Ancient Greek and Latin, before going back to school in 2012.
