Architecting an AI- augmented future

With over 10 years of experience in software development and cloud-native architectures, I have specialized in generative AI since 2023.

I have designed and industrialized AI solutions for demanding environments — Banking, Defense, and Industry — at Thales, Sandvik, and other major organizations in Montreal and Paris.

Technology-agnostic, I master the full AI stack: LLMs, RAG, Vector DB, autonomous agents, LLMOps, fine-tuning — and I know how to anchor them in scalable, secure production architectures.

Beyond the technical side, I deeply believe in knowledge transfer: training teams, demystifying AI, and guiding organizations through their transformation is at the heart of my mission.
