About Julien

I am anAI Technical Leader & Full Stack Architectwith 15+ years of experience, specializing in building and optimizing robust and complex software platforms. My expertise spans development, architecture, and Data Engineering.

My most recent experience at DINUM(Interministerial Directorate for Digital Affairs) has equipped me withcutting-edge expertise in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)and in creating high-impactopen-sourceapplications.

Notably, I contributed to:

  • Optimizing AI model relevancethrough the implementation ofRAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)systems to enrich responses with internal context.
  • IntegratingOCR(Optical Character Recognition) services for automatic information extraction from documents.
  • Designing atraceability systemfor AI model usage and consumption.

I also guarantee thequality and reliabilityof projects by implementing automated tests, setting upContinuous Integration (CI on GitHub)pipelines, and real-time error tracking via Sentry. My know-how is built on solidPythonexpertise and a modern approach to software engineering.

    Within the Interministerial Directorate for Digital Affairs, I contributed to the development of **OpenGateLLM**, an open-source application that centralizes and manages multiple generative artificial intelligence servers, similar to the LiteLLM solution.

    I worked on:
    • Improving context-enriched text generation systems(RAG technology), enabling AI models to produce more relevant responses by leveraging internal documents or data.
    • Integrating text recognition services(OCR), allowing the application to automatically extract information from images or documents.
    • Designing a system for tracking AI model consumptionper user, allowing for better visibility and usage management.

    I also contributed to enhancing the overall project quality by:
    • adding automated tests to ensure code reliability,

    Technical Lead
    TRANSPORTATION
    August 2021 - December 2024 (3 years and 4 months)
    Besancon, France
    I supervised a team of about ten developers responsible for creating a ticketing system for Île-de-France Mobilités (IDFM) bus and tram networks. This large-scale project involved collaboration with two major industry players, Conduent and Equans, as well as regular exchanges with all public transport operators in the Paris region, notably the RATP.

    As this involved embedded software (installed directly in equipment), code reliability and robustness were essential. The solution was based on a microservices architecture, making it more modular, scalable, and resilient.

    Technologies used: Python, Flask, MQTT, SQLite, Docker
    Project management tools: Jira, Confluence, BitBucket

    Design and development of the backend using Django and GraphQL, to provide a performant, flexible API tailored to the product's needs.

    Structuring and overseeing the overall solution architecture, ensuring its scalability and reliability.

    I was also responsible for:

    the creation and maintenance of a complete CI/CD pipeline via GitLab, to ensure fast, automated, and reliable deployments;
