Back to original languageAbout Jean
AI Engineer with international background in computer science and machine learning from top universities (Sorbonne, NTU, Edinburgh, HEC & Polytechnique). I have worked for several companies on state-of-the-art AI systems (CNRS, Agap2 IT, Battelle).
During my first professional experience, I worked at Seebyte, a company developing robotic software for military underwater and autonomous drones. I was responsible for the development and testing of new computer vision systems using technologies such as GANs, VAEs, and NN classification.
Today, some of my AI systems are used daily by the US, British, and European navies.
Demonstrating my capabilities as an AI engineer, I am the lead author of a peer-reviewed research paper: "Similarity-based data-mining for online domain adaptation of a sonar ATR system".
With a degree in Cognitive Science and another in Business, my knowledge extends beyond that of a traditional data scientist, offering a deep understanding of the science behind artificial intelligence as well as its business implications.
École Polytechnique recruited me to manage and create new AI MLOps courses for entrepreneurship students looking to deploy their AI systems (Agents, RAG) into production.
I also founded my own AI startup: Prepera, an AI career coach used by over 30 top business schools (ESSEC, Télécom,...). I single-handedly built a video analysis AI pipeline on AWS using custom TensorFlow models and a text-based feedback system also deployed on AWS, leveraging HuggingFace LLMs (e.g., Mistral) & OpenAI.
If you want to develop, test, and deploy custom AI features on text, video, or audio data, you've come to the right place.

We decided to work with Jean again for a longer and more complex mission with many requirements: Develop an Agent based on an open-source LLM, compliant with GDPR and the AI Act. Jean was, as before, reliable, efficient, and delivered a very high-quality conversational agent that our student-entrepreneurs are delighted with.
