About Simon

Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE): I integrate into my clients' infrastructure to transform a business need into production AI — from POC to MVP in a few weeks. Production code (backend, APIs, LLM multi-agent orchestration), no theoretical R&D. The bridge between business challenges and AI.

AI Engineer & fullstack developer. I design and deploy AI solutions that run in production — agents, RAG assistants, business automations. Not sleeping POCs.

10 years in tech, including 6 deploying AI platforms in demanding environments (healthcare, +30 hospitals). I know AI from business POC to production deployment.

What I build:
· AI Agents & Assistants (LangChain, LangGraph, MCP, Vercel AI SDK)
· RAG Chatbots connected to your data (support, internal docs, search)
· Business Automations (n8n, Make, autonomous agents) that save hours
· LLM Integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic) into your existing tools
· Custom SaaS & Web Products around AI

Stack: Next.js · TypeScript · Python · Supabase/pgvector · LangChain · LangGraph · Vercel AI SDK · OpenAI/Anthropic · n8n

My product background allows me to challenge the scope and prioritize what delivers value — AI that serves the business, not just demos.

I entrusted the creation of my custom website to Simon and I recommend him 100%. Ultra responsive, efficient, and above all full of ideas, he quickly understands business challenges and doesn't just execute. Smooth communication, deadlines met, clean and performant delivery. A true web partner, not just a service provider.
