About Quentin

With 5 years of experience as a Product Owner within the R&D department of Rakuten Institute of Technology, I specialize in developing artificial intelligence products for e-commerce. My profile combines strong technical expertise in Machine Learning (MLops, ML Engineer) with a strategic product vision, enabling me to transform research innovations into concrete business solutions.

Passionate about innovation and the latest advancements in AI, I constantly stay updated with new technologies. My flexibility and curiosity allow me to adapt quickly to dynamic ML environments. I am looking for assignments where I can bring my dual expertise, technical and product, to create high-impact AI business solutions.

Although primarily a Product Owner, I enjoy touching new disciplines and do not hesitate to implement technical solutions myself when necessary. If your project requires someone flexible and proactive, do not hesitate to call on me; I particularly enjoy working in very dynamic environments.
I am embarking on the freelance adventure today to put this expertise to work on new projects and take on new challenges.
