About Lionel

SAFe® 6 certified Product Manager and Full-Stack Developer, I design and deliver GenAI applications in production: from business framing and roadmap to deployment, including LLM architecture (RAG, conversational agents, function calling).

Co-founder of a GenAI SaaS in production, I concretely know what it means to "go from POC to prod".

What sets me apart: I communicate with business teams (HR, management, finance) as well as technical teams. 15 years of managing data products and digital transformations (Schneider Electric) as a freelancer have taught me how to translate a business challenge into a deliverable solution – and to discard bad ideas before they become costly.

I can help you with: framing and feasibility study of an AI use case, GenAI MVP / POC, integrating LLM / RAG / agents into your tools, Azure OpenAI architecture and deployment, audit of an existing AI project. Stack: Azure OpenAI, Node.js, React / React Native, Python.

My goal: a product in production that meets a real need – not another demo.
