About Stéphane

Most AI projects stop at the same point: a prototype that works locally, and no one to turn it into a system the company can actually use. That's precisely where I come in.

Senior Data Scientist with 6 years of experience designing and deploying ML and GenAI systems. I cover the entire chain - modeling, development, deployment, security, observability - without handoffs between stages.

**What I deliver**: Production-ready RAG systems with traceable sources and verifiable answers. Industrialized AI backends including MCP servers and controlled tools. Complete MLOps and LLMOps pipelines: Docker, CI/CD, monitoring, secrets management, compartmentalized IAM. Fraud detection and scoring models deployed with business-understandable explainability.



**Results in assignments**: 27% reduction in operational costs through predictive models deployed across 11 countries. Process automation equivalent to 2 FTEs. 10% increase in budget forecast accuracy. 500-600 ms scoring latency in FinTech production.



**Auditable achievements**:


1) MedRAG - RAG system deployed on GCP Cloud Run: Private IAM-only FastAPI API, Streamlit UI, BGE embeddings, Chroma index, page-by-page cited sources, three compartmentalized service accounts, 24 pytest tests.

2) FoodHub - Industrialized AI backend on AWS: FastAPI, deterministic repository layer preventing direct LLM SQL access, private RDS PostgreSQL, ECS Fargate, MCP server exposing controlled tools, 4-stage CI/CD pipeline.

Public code, architecture, and runbooks on GitLab.

**My way of working**: I start with what you want to achieve, not with the available technology. I deliver documented code and a technical handover: your teams take over, you don't depend on me.

Hybrid work suits me, but full remote is my preferred mode.
