About Anthony

I am a freelance Data Scientist and I help companies transform their AI ideas into useful, deployed, and maintainable solutions.
I work end-to-end: business scoping, rapid prototyping, then industrialization in production.

My areas of expertise:

- Generative AI: LLM, RAG, Graph RAG, business assistants, continuous evaluation
- Computer vision: detection, tracking, classification, super-resolution
- Backend & MLOps: FastAPI, Airflow, Docker, CI/CD, observability, monitoring

What I can deliver:

- AI use case scoping and roadmap
- Testable POC/MVP with your data
- Robust and secure AI API/backend
- Reproducible data/ML pipelines
- Production deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement

I have worked on concrete cases in HR, legal, public administration, industry, and defense, with a constant objective: maximize business impact before technical complexity.

My added value: a very pragmatic approach, strong scientific rigor (PhD in Theoretical Physics), and the ability to bridge business challenges, technical quality, and scaling.
