Developer with nearly 20 years of experience, I am characterized by my autonomy and my ability to integrate quickly into any team (even English-speaking).
Curious and passionate, I have explored a wide range of technologies: web applications, chatbots (NLP, State Machines), system projects in Go/C++, speech synthesis, object detection... and now AI in all its forms.
