Back to original languageAbout Maxime
Forward Deployed Engineer specializing in the practical deployment of AI in business.
I help companies transition from "gadget" AI to truly operational AI: intelligent agents, business automation, internal assistants, Microsoft Copilot integrations, MCP, n8n workflows, and custom tools connected to existing systems.
My role is to bridge the gap between business needs and technical implementation. I handle the entire process: clarifying the problem, challenging the need, choosing the architecture, development, integration with existing data and tools, deployment, documentation, and team adoption.
With a background as a TypeScript / DevOps Tech Lead, I design reliable and maintainable AI systems, not just prompts or prototypes. A useful AI agent in business must be able to access the right tools, respect permissions, produce verifiable results, be observable, and integrate into the teams' actual workflows.
Main stack: TypeScript, Node.js, React / Next.js, APIs, Microsoft 365, Copilot, MCP / Model Context Protocol, n8n, Docker, Kubernetes, Azure, CI/CD.
My approach: transforming concrete operational pain points into simple, robust, and adopted tools. The goal is not to "do AI" to follow trends, but to build solutions that save time, reduce errors, structure knowledge, and improve team efficiency.
