Thomas Vanhaeren
@thomasvanhaeren
I build data-driven products and lead Agile delivery across regulated, complex environments.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently helping Renault Group's COGS Factory implement Scrum across three international squads, guiding product priorities, roadmaps, clean backlogs, estimations, and delivery reporting.
At Arithma, I'm building an AI-powered football intelligence platform that turns raw match data into tactical recommendations, player insights, forecasts, simulations, and explainable coach-facing dashboards. I own the product end to end, from data models and APIs to ML logic, UX flows, reporting, and iterative model validation.
Previously, I owned modernization and regulatory-compliance delivery for Luminus's cloud short-term optimization platform for energy traders, while supporting Eurocontrol's transition to a secure, scalable hybrid-cloud platform for air traffic management.
My PhD research combined machine learning, genomic data, and explainability: I built pipelines reaching 95% F1-score in chromatin loop classification, created a pan-mammalian R-loop atlas across 51 species, and published three first-author papers. I bring scientific rigor, product leadership, and hands-on engineering to data-driven work in complex regulated environments.
