About Ilker

An engineer by training (ULB, INSTN Paris, UC Berkeley), I design and deploy artificial intelligence systems in environments where errors are not an option.
My preferred domain: RAG pipelines, AI agents, and GenAI integration strategies in high-stakes contexts.
I work alongside organizations that want to move from experimentation to operational, governed, and measurably valuable AI.
What I bring concretely:

Design of multilingual RAG pipelines and agentic architectures adapted to your data and business constraints
AI strategy and governance (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001) for regulated organizations
AI maturity audits and prioritized roadmaps, from diagnosis to implementation
Training and skills transfer for your teams

Recognized among Belgium's 40 Under 40, I also speak and train on the challenges of applied AI.
