Back to original languageAbout Christophe
Are you looking for an expert capable of designing and managing your AI, cloud, or data projects in a demanding environment: finance, public sector, insurance? I help you move from strategic scoping to production deployment, mastering both technical constraints and business and regulatory challenges.
What sets me apart: I am CFA certified and a software architect with over 20 years of experience. I speak the language of your business, risk, and compliance teams as well as your technical teams.
I don't take tickets in a backlog: I structure your projects, I design your architectures, and when it's time to get hands-on with code, I deliver software that runs in production.
My typical interventions:
- Design and deployment of AI systems (RAG, LLMs, vector search, embedding pipelines)
- Cloud architecture on AWS (serverless, Lambda, Aurora, OpenSearch, infrastructure-as-code)
- Financial risk and data platforms
- Strategic scoping: technology assessment, data governance, AI roadmap
Recent achievements: an RAG system on AWS to query over 170,000 Swiss Federal Tribunal rulings, a cloud risk management platform for a regulated crypto investment firm, and supporting a public institution in Geneva in creating its Data Science team.
I operate within the framework of Revault sàrl, a consulting firm of which I am a partner, specializing in software architecture, cloud solutions, and data strategy. Based in Lausanne, available in French-speaking Switzerland and remotely.
