About Kévin

Some industrial problems have persisted for years. Diagnoses have been made, reports written — and yet nothing really changes. That's where I come in.

With 15 years of field experience in industrial systems (automation, electrical engineering) and 5 years in software development, I have developed a rare ability to bridge the gap between IT and OT — two worlds that misunderstand each other, and where the root causes that classic analyses fail to reach often lie.

Unlike a pure developer, I also understand the business issues and the overall context of the problem before coding a solution — a role close to functional analysis.
I combine this in-depth technical understanding with field language (5S, Kaizen, standards) to identify the cause — not to make those who have already looked for it guess it again.

Once the cause is identified, it becomes the starting point for a structured continuous improvement process — certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt — that your teams can carry forward themselves, without depending on me long-term.

What this looks like in practice
✅ 16 weeks of production downtime avoided thanks to a pragmatic solution validated with RTE.
✅ 90% of anomaly causes identified in 3 months after 3 years of unsuccessful investigations.
✅ Software generation time divided by 7 after diagnosis and pipeline restructuring.

How I work — Diagnosis first, continuous improvement second
From a few weeks for a targeted diagnosis to several months to establish a continuous improvement dynamic — from the root cause to the loops that the field can maintain independently.
I don't sell tools. I bring a fresh perspective and build solutions that your teams can take over and keep alive after I leave.

Experience

  • Dauphelec
    Industrial Systems, Automation & Performance Optimization Engineer
    ENERGY AND UTILITIES
    October 2025 - Today (10 months)
    Grenoble, France
    ▸ Safeguarding critical cryogenic projects
    Two PLC/HMI projects taken over urgently — automation engineer unavailable for 15 days, commissioning scheduled for mid-November (1st project) then end of February (2nd), non-negotiable deadlines.

    Immediate full-time takeover (Siemens S7-1500, TIA Portal, WinCC Unified). Simplification of PLC sequences and HMIs.

    ✅ Both commissioning deadlines met. End customers honored their commitments.

    ▸ RAG Prototype — automatic PLC code generation
    PLC/HMI development cycle too long (several weeks per delivery) — bottleneck identified in engineering department projects.

    RAG Prototype (N8N + TIA Portal Openness): ingestion of technical documents (specifications, diagrams), automatic PLC code generation, testing, and documentation.

    ✅ Generation cycle: from several weeks to a few days.

    ▸ Commercial Automation System & AI
    Time-consuming manual prospecting, non-integrated CRM, no visibility on channel performance or alignment with buyer personas.

    Agentic N8N Pipeline: weak signal detection, automatic offer updates, market research, continuous workflow improvement. Python/FastAPI Backend: scraping, CRM management, statistics, AI prompt versioning, contact enrichment, buyer persona alignment verification. Frontend dashboard.

    ✅ Sending time: 30 min → 1 min (–96%).
    ✅ 50% open rate, 5% response rate depending on channels.

  • Projet personnel
    Aerogenerator
    ENERGY AND UTILITIES
    January 2025 - Today (1 year and 7 months)
    Kite-wing type aerogenerator prototype with active control — complete embedded system designed from scratch.
    ▸ Wing Module (BlueNRG): acquisition of inertial and magnetic data (gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer) transmitted via Bluetooth to the ground unit.

    ▸ Ground Control Unit (STM32 + LVGL display): receives wing attitude data, controls winches to manage wing position, and acquires traction data via a force sensor (STM32).

    ▸ Wind Measurement: anemometer and wind vane for force and direction.

    Technical Stack: STM32 · BlueNRG · Bluetooth · LVGL · C · SPI/I2C · Servomotors / winches · Force sensor
    STM32 Bluetooth Low Energy C LVGL Embedded Systems
  • Projet personnel
    Thermodynamic Heating System Control
    ENERGY AND UTILITIES
    May 2024 - September 2024 (4 months)
    Thermodynamic heating system without adequate regulation — risk of freezing the hydraulic circuit, no visibility on operating statistics, manual boiler interface.
    ▸ Remote PIC16F Card (RS485): collects environmental and hydraulic data near the panels.

    ▸ Raspberry Pi Zero Control Card: pump control, drain/fill solenoid valve management, boiler Modbus, relay/analog I/O.

    ▸ Python/Flask + SQLite Web Server: statistics visualization and configuration.

    ✅ Frost protection operational. Automated boiler interface. Statistics accessible via web.

    ✅ Unit tests CMock (C firmware) and GTest (C++) — quality approach applied to a personal project.

    Stack: C (PIC16F — CMock) · C++ (Raspberry Pi Zero — GTest) · Python/Flask · HTML/CSS/JS · SQLite · RS485 · Modbus
    Python Flask C/C++ Programming Raspberry Pi Embedded Systems
