Pierre-Loic Doulcet is a Machine Learning Engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience building backend systems and AI solutions from Texas. He combines practical ML engineering with strong backend expertise—evidenced by contributions to the Parsr open-source project where he improved reading-order detection, page number extraction, and PDF robustness. Comfortable navigating messy document data and production constraints, he brings a pragmatic approach to turning unstructured inputs into structured, machine-readable formats. Known for addressing edge cases (like negative PDF widths) and delivering simple, consumable outputs, he bridges research-minded modeling with production-grade engineering.
