About Cyril

Hello,

With a background in computer engineering (UTC data mining degree), I have 8 years of experience as a Machine Learning Engineer. I am versatile and can adapt to any back-end and front-end stack, but my expertise is in data and generative AI. My CV, portfolio, and recommendations are on my website.
I can help you with:

- Architecture, creation, and improvement of data systems: AI & big data pipelines, cloud deployment, monitoring
- Development of MLOps culture, principles, and tools within your teams
- Improvement of your AI models (inference response time and accuracy), scaling to handle larger data volumes
- Building or improving the monitoring of your production models, shadowing pipelines, feedback loops
- Working at the intersection of data scientists, data engineers, and DevOps
- Reducing your infrastructure costs

Depending on your needs, I can intervene:
- In a very short time (1-2 days) to help you troubleshoot a difficult technical issue
- Occasionally for setting up data systems in your company, for expertise missions, or for training missions
- For long-term support, to assist you with maintenance and continuous improvement, while allowing you to maintain control over your systems
- Primarily remotely, occasionally on-site

CV and recommendations are available upon request. Feel free to contact me to learn more and discuss your projects, or find me at:

Cyril is an excellent professional: reliable, rigorous, and very autonomous. Initially recruited to my team to work on securing Albert API - on which he played a key role - Cyril far exceeded my expectations. He actively contributed to several strategic projects: load testing, infrastructure cost optimization, and AI model inference improvement, to name a few. A true Swiss army knife, Cyril delivers with ease on various topics: data science, DevSecOps, backend development, and the highly sought-after LLMOps expertise. He combines technical excellence, team spirit, and strong initiative - a rare profile who is very pleasant to work with and whom I recommend without hesitation.

Cyril was of great help in the realization of our data API project. He set up the entire technical stack in IaC, from development to production, including implementation from the functional specification and the data feeding pipeline with business transformations. Today, it is already used by several applications. Cyril is determined and efficient in his work and knows how to communicate. He is a real asset to any team. I recommend him and hope to work with him again.
