Looking to transform AI into a reliable and secure production tool?
The challenge is no longer to experiment, but to intelligently integrate LLMs into your existing processes. As a senior architect, I design systems where AI becomes a concrete lever for efficiency, perfectly integrated into your technical stack and respecting your security constraints.
Concrete achievements:
- AI & Productivity: Integration of an intelligent writing assistant within a messaging system for promoters/buyers. Result: Contextual response assistance, elimination of writer's block, and accelerated exchanges.
- Operational Intelligence (n8n Self-hosted): Deployment of sovereign and complex automation infrastructures. Result: Centralization of data flows without dependence on costly third-party clouds.
- Architecture & Scale: 15 years of experience with critical systems. Result: I guarantee the integration of AI components (RAG, Agents) without technical debt.
My areas of intervention:
- RAG & Data Exploitation: Transformation of your documents (PDF, CRM, SQL) into dynamic, searchable knowledge bases in natural language.
- Business Agents & Automation: Orchestration of intelligent workflows to connect AI to your business tools (APIs, databases) via n8n or LangChain.
- Sovereign AI: Installation and optimization of models on your own servers for complete data confidentiality.
My approach:
You present me with your problem (operational overload, unexploited data), and I build the appropriate architecture. My obsession: maintainability and business results. My perspective allows me to choose the simplest and most robust solution for your needs.
