Data & Advanced Systems
  • Modeling and optimization of databases (transactional, vector, graph)
  • Processing of structured and unstructured data (including complex document parsing)
  • Design of systems combining vector and graph search

Applied AI
  • Integration of language models via APIs
  • Design of agents and tool-based systems
  • Implementation of RAG pipelines
  • Transition from prototype to a reliable and industrialized architecture

Technical Leadership

  • Assistance in technological decision-making
  • Implementation of best practices

My way of working

I favor simple, maintainable solutions adapted to the real context. Attentive to product and business challenges, I integrate easily into a team and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical profiles.

I act as an externalized Tech Lead, Software Architect, or Senior Engineer on strategic topics.
