About Patrick

AI Engineer and PhD in AI, expert in generative AI and Large Language Models (ChatGPT, open-source models), I help startups and mid-sized companies deploy generative AI solutions in production: internal copilots, business AI assistants, chatbots, RAG, and process automation.

Specializing in prompt engineering, LLM integration into SaaS products, and automation (Zapier, Make, n8n, APIs), I act as an AI Engineer from strategy to implementation to ensure a quick and measurable ROI.

After experiences with groups like Thales (Underwater Systems, Avionics, Alenia Space), Valeo, and Sony Ericsson, I bring industrial methods and processes for robust and maintainable AI projects.

I focus on business ROI: defining use cases, rapid POCs, consulting and support in generative AI / LLM (NLP), scaling, industrialization, and skills transfer to make your teams autonomous.

I help startups and mid-sized companies save time and increase revenue through generative AI: business AI assistants, internal copilots, repetitive task automation, and new AI features in your SaaS products.

Typical missions: setting up an internal RAG assistant connected to your data, creating an AI chatbot / copilot for your teams, automating your workflows with LLM, integrating generative AI into your products, AI training for your teams.
