About Clément

I design and deliver intelligent systems in production: LLM agents, AI pipelines, and high-load Python backends.

My approach: combine the rigor of backend engineering (FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes) with the intelligence of agentic architectures (LLM orchestration, RAG, escalation, human-in-the-loop). I don't do POCs that stay in a notebook — I deliver systems that run.

What I bring concretely:

→ Agents & AI: multi-agent orchestration, ReAct patterns, LLM escalation with HITL, RAG with embeddings, PyTorch, scikit-learn
→ Scalable Backend: Production FastAPI APIs at 15,000 calls/minute across the entire system, worker + message broker architectures, 200,000 processes/day

→ Data platforms: creation from scratch on GCP (BigQuery, Composer, Dataflow), declarative frameworks, ingestion pipelines
→ Tech Lead: functional scoping, team management, SAFe sprints, delivery guarantee

Last mission: Tech Lead Backend at FedEx (30 countries, 15,000 drivers, 600 stations) — route planning system that generated €7 million in savings.

Daily international context (fluent written/spoken English) with teams in India, Germany, UK, Netherlands, and US.
