Mathematician and Entrepreneur

Paul-Olivier Dehaye

Hi, I am Paul. I am a curious person, with an analytical brain that likes tough problems. I have helped uncover the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which you might have seen in Netflix's The Great Hack.

I am now mostly working in data and AI and applying that expertise in the legal and spatial domains, through many different projects.
