About Etienne

AI Architect & Fractional CTO | SaaS, Cloud-Native & Voice Agents Expert

About Me: CTO and Cloud Architect with 15 years of experience, I operate at the intersection of product vision and technical excellence. I support startups and IT departments that cannot afford to fail their scaling or AI integration.

My approach is pragmatic: an architecture is only valuable if it serves business profitability.

MY 3 PILLARS OF INTERVENTION:

🚀 Cloud & DevOps Architecture (AWS / Kubernetes) I transform your POCs into industrial platforms. I led the transition of custom solutions to scalable SaaS models, reducing production costs while handling peaks of 50,000 users. I secure your deployments (CI/CD, Docker, Scaleway).

🤖 Generative AI & Voice Agents (GenAI Expert) Beyond the hype, I master deep AI engineering. I am the creator of Stimm, an Open Source platform for ultra-low latency voice agents (<500ms).

Know-how: Python/FastAPI Orchestration, complex RAG, WebRTC optimization (LiveKit), and SIP telephony management.

📱 IoT & Phygital With my experience at JCDecaux and Printemps Haussmann, I know how to manage real-world constraints: indoor geolocation, hardware, and unstable networks.

WHY ME?

Fractional CTO: I structure your tech team and your roadmap (Rennes or Full Remote).

Hands-on: I code the critical components that your teams don't yet master.

Open Source: I actively contribute to the AI ecosystem (Permanent technical watch).

    The framework's goal is to bring the standards of classical software engineering to the No/Low-Code world:

    GitOps & CI/CD: Solving complex versioning and deployment issues for n8n workflows.

    AI Reliability: Creating a robust architecture that eliminates JSON hallucinations when using LLMs in production.

    Product Management: Driving the roadmap (currently V1.5+), integrating user feedback, and validating Pull Requests.

    🏆 Recognition: The framework has been officially validated and highlighted by the n8n publisher on their official YouTube channel.
