About Lucas

I industrialize AI, from prototype to production

Moving from a promising notebook to a reliable, scalable, and observable ML system in production is rarely about the model. It's an engineering challenge. That's my job.

Machine Learning & MLOps Engineer, I support clients in three areas:

→ AI & ML Architecture
Design of custom ML architectures, aligned with business constraints, data volumes, and performance requirements.

→ MLOps & Production Systems
Design, deployment, and operation of scalable and reliable ML systems.

I view models as components of a distributed system, not isolated artifacts: observability, drift management, lifecycle automation, infrastructure as code, ML CI/CD.

Everything that makes a system hold up under real load, without manual intervention at 3 AM.

→ Team Velocity
Standardization of deployment processes, upskilling ML teams, drastic reduction of time-to-market.


My Stack (non-exhaustive)

-ML / DL: PyTorch, JAX, XGBoost, Optuna
-MLOps: FastAPI, Kubeflow, MLflow, KServe, Evidently
-Infra & Cloud: Kubernetes, GCP, Terraform, Helm, GitHub Actions
-Agents / LLMs: LangGraph, LangSmith

Stack adaptable to project context. I align with the team's existing setup.


When to contact me?

- You have an ML prototype that needs to go into production without breaking at the first load increase
- Your ML team lacks MLOps structure and wastes time on deployment
- You want to build a scalable ML or agentic system from scratch
- You're looking for someone who codes, architects,andtransfers knowledge to the team
