Romain Beaumont is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer based in Paris with 12 years of experience building and deploying ML infrastructure at scale. He currently focuses on serving and adapting Gemini for YouTube at Google, having previously deployed LLMs into production classifiers. Romain pairs production ML engineering with hands-on open-source work across computer vision and deep learning—contributing performance and CI improvements to projects like open_clip and DALLE-pytorch and building high-throughput tooling such as img2dataset. His background spans research (PhD work in NLP and IR) to industry-scale recommender and image systems at Criteo, processing billions of examples. Notably, he moves fluidly between low-level engineering (protocols and Minecraft tooling) and large-scale ML optimizations (bfloat16/TF32, DeepSpeed, checkpointing) to close the gap between prototypes and production.
