About Rémi

Your model works perfectly in the lab. In the field, it crashes.
Result: demo in 3 weeks, but the edge can't handle it. No cloud possible (GDPR, latency, offline), and your client expects a functional prototype, not a promise.

I deploy and optimize your AI models on constrained hardware to make them perform in real-world conditions.

Specifically, I deliver:

- An edge AI feasibility audit in 48 hours (which model, which target, which budget)
- Optimization and quantization of your existing model (llama.cpp, ONNX, TFLite)
- C++/Python firmware integration on Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano
- Zero cloud dependency. Local inference, real-time, GDPR constraints respected

Project examples:

→ YOLOv8 migration from GPU to Jetson Nano with INT8 inference (×3 perf)
→ Private LLM under GDPR compliance with Ollama + fine-tuning
→ Real-time ROS2 agent for autonomous robot with local decision-making

Experience

  • Synobotix
    Embedded & Edge AI Engineer
    INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)
    April 2024 - Today (2 years and 2 months)
    Lyon, France
    Most embedded systems break as soon as you try to add AI to them. Most AI systems fail as soon as they leave the cloud.
    I work at the intersection of the two.

    My expertise covers embedded development and the deployment of LLM agents directly on constrained hardware — without cloud dependency, without your data leaving your infrastructure, without latency incompatible with your real-time constraints.

    What I bring concretely:
    • Local LLM deployment on constrained hardware (llama.cpp, Ollama, ONNX Runtime)
    • Embedded development: firmware, RTOS, drivers, sensor integration
    • AI agents integrated into ROS2 pipelines
    • Benchmarking and model selection for your real hardware constraints
    • Managed private LLM instance: your data stays on your infrastructure
    For whom:
    Robotics startups with a critical demo to secure, industrial teams with GDPR or air-gap constraints, technical directors who need embedded and AI skills in the same person

  • ACTIA
    Embedded Systems Engineer
    TRANSPORTATION
    February 2024 - April 2024 (2 months)
    Toulouse, France
    ACTIA is a leading automotive supplier specializing in embedded electronics for transportation. Assignment with an industrial company developing a real-time display system for the Paris metro, deployed 24/7 on embedded Linux targets.

    What I did:

    • C++ development on a project from architecture creation to implementation
    • Design and implementation of the real-time passenger information display business logic
    • Participation in code reviews, improvement of software quality and maintainability
    Results:
    • Maintainable code designed from the outset to evolve, in a young project requiring solid foundations
    • Continuous integration from the creation phase, avoiding technical debt

  • Volvo group
    Embedded Systems Engineer
    AUTOMOBILE
    October 2022 - October 2023 (1 year)
    Belley, France
    Volvo Group is a world leader in heavy machinery manufacturing. Assignment on an embedded control unit (ECU) for construction machinery, in a constrained real-time environment. Objective: ensure the reliability of the embedded software within a structured industrial framework.

    What I did:

    • Software development on a real-time embedded system (C++)
    • Code and system behavior analysis to identify and fix anomalies on target
    • Testing, validation, and software integration activities in a V-cycle
    • Collaboration in a multidisciplinary team (electronics, system, validation, business)

    Results:

    • Fixes deployed on machines in real conditions, with a direct impact on the reliability of critical systems
    • Reduction of anomalies identified during validation thanks to rigorous system analysis
    • Controlled integration into a heavy industrial process (quality standards, reviews, milestones)

Education

  • Master of Computer Science
    Epitech
    2019
    EPITECH est une école d'ingénierie informatique de référence, pionnière de la pédagogie par projets en France. **Ce que j'en ai retiré :** - 5 ans de formation intensive où j'ai appris à apprendre vite — chaque projet était un nouveau langage, une nouvelle techno, un nouveau problème à résoudre - Une approche pragmatique et opérationnelle : pas de cours magistraux, du code livré, des soutenances, du concret - Des bases solides en programmation système (C, C++) et en conception logicielle, directement applicables aux environnements embarqués contraints - Une capacité d'adaptation qui fait la différence : je peux plonger dans n'importe quelle codebase, n'importe quel écosystème technique, et être productif rapidement **Résultat :** Ça m'a appris à résoudre des problèmes complexes plutôt qu'à suivre des recettes, exactement ce qu'on attend d'un ingénieur embarqué sur le terrain.
