Xavier Hovasse

I design and deliver custom business applications for organizations looking to integrate AI into their processes, from requirements gathering to production deployment.

I combine two rare qualities: senior-level strategic thinking about needs, honed over 25+ years of managing complex projects (industry, energy, public sector, services), and daily practical experience in AI-augmented application development. Practically, I don't just advise or manage; I deliver the solution, deployed and adopted.

I choose the right tool for each layer: custom-built for the core, low-code orchestration for the rest, and deployment that you keep under your control.

What I handle:

→ Requirements & Architecture: Analyzing the real value of AI in a process, identifying the right use cases, designing the architecture.

→ Full-Stack Development: React, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, Docker, REST APIs, multi-tenant applications, SSO.

→ AI Components: RAG, agents, embeddings, vector databases, AI workflow orchestration including self-hosted n8n, integrating Anthropic and OpenAI APIs into your existing applications.

→ Production Deployment & Adoption Support.

Recent achievements: a multi-tenant SaaS application with hybrid RAG and agent-based response, an AI-augmented organizational assistant, two e-commerce sites linked to 3PL logistics, a native AI project management application.

My working method: I first clarify the need, the sponsor, and the objectives, then I engage the team in adoption. This is the condition for a solution to be truly useful instead of staying on the shelf.

The simplest way to start together: a short scoping mission that secures the need, scope, and path, before any larger commitment.
