I help companies modernize their architectures, make their systems reliable, and accelerate their processes with backend and AI solutions designed for production.

Some recent results:

• Python/LLM pipeline automatically consolidating ICPE permits for the Ministry of Ecological Transition (500k installations monitored)
• Refactoring of a Back-for-Front to FastAPI at Boulanger: -60% on response times in production
• OCR + AI pipeline with +900% quality on targeted business cases
• Dozens of REST endpoints on GCP (Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL) at ADEO

Stack: Python, FastAPI, Django, Flask, LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Gemini), OCR, Docker, CI/CD, GCP, Azure, React.

    Paris 17 Batignolles-Monceau, France
    Within the DGPR: Design and deployment of OCAPI, a Python 3.12 pipeline that automatically consolidates prefectural decrees for classified installations (ICPE) into a single, up-to-date legal permit, based on Géorisques PDFs — a high-value regulatory problem for the approximately 500,000 ICPE installations monitored by the State and their inspectors.

    Architected the end-to-end pipeline (operation detection, chunking, graph resolution, HTML rendering) and delivered ~50 merged pull requests in 3.5 months, from the first commit to GitHub Pages publication. Integrated and benchmarked 10+ LLMs across multiple providers (OpenAI GPT-4o/5, Anthropic Claude Sonnet/Opus, Mistral, Google Gemini) via a reproducible .xlsx evaluation infrastructure, with specialized prompt engineering on French legal vocabulary.

    Industrialized quality: strict mypy, pre-commit, exact HTML snapshot testing, centralized configuration (pydantic-settings), status code system propagated across the entire operation graph for fine-grained error traceability. Direct liaison with end-users (ICPE inspectors) to qualify error cases and prioritize developments. Stack: Python 3.12, Pydantic, BeautifulSoup, pytest, mypy, multi-LLM APIs, Git/GitHub Pages.
