Professional journey

Experience

Data Scientist, AI & Risk Management · Intern

Desjardins · Risk Management Analytics

Jan 2026 – Present

Designed Vigie Bancaire, an AI solution that automates quarterly comparative analysis of financial disclosures from Canada’s six largest banks. Architected a multi-agent table-matching pipeline and a semantic comparison engine, with human validation for traceability and reliability.

Impact Reduced an estimated 5–10 days of manual analysis to a few hours per cycle.
