AI-generated recommendations for a gourmet guide
Context
Elevating a culinary platform with AI-generated recommendations I collaborated with Tastet, a local gourmet guide focusing on equity, diversity, and personalization. Together, we worked on creating an innovative approach to culinary exploration.
Outcome
In our collaboration, we designed a comprehensive tech stack, orchestrating a seamless end-to-end pipeline for AI-driven recommendations. From data collection in a Google Storage bucket to a Docker container hosting a real-time recommendation API, every step was meticulously crafted for optimal performance.
During my M.Sc. Data Science at HEC Montreal, I was selected for an internship with the startup Tastet.ca. It was the start of an exciting journey that led us to sponsorships from the Mitacs and supervising from HEC professor Laurent Charlin.
This experience was later enriched with a consultant role for the company, acting as the AI expert for them.
