Description

I help companies design, build and scale production-grade AI systems.

Over the last 15+ years, I have delivered machine learning and AI solutions for organizations including Sanofi, Chanel, Renault, Jellysmack and Prose, spanning Computer Vision, image processing, visual recognition systems, recommendation systems, optimization, machine learning platforms and more recently Generative AI and LLM-based applications.

My expertise covers the full lifecycle of AI products: from problem framing and model development to production-grade deployment, cloud infrastructure, real-time inference systems, monitoring and continuous improvement of machine learning systems in production.

I have strong experience in Computer Vision systems, including image processing, OCR, object detection, segmentation and real-time vision applications, as well as large-scale machine learning platforms and GenAI systems for enterprise use cases.

I also bring leadership experience as former Head of AI at Prose, where I defined AI strategy, led engineering teams and worked closely with executive stakeholders on AI-driven product development.

My background combines a PhD in Physics, hands-on engineering experience and a strong focus on delivering measurable business impact through AI systems in production.

Vincent a su mettre à profit son expertise sur le machine learning / computer vision pour réaliser le prototype. Il a été très professionnel, les intéractions ont été très bonnes, a bien su communiquer et passer les connaissances à la fin des développements. Je recommande sans hésiter Vincent pour ce type de projets.
