I started in marketing. I taught myself to code. Today, I build AI systems and my own products.

I was hired at Orange to do marketing. I taught myself to build, and turned my own role into an AI engineering one: nobody handed it to me.
Now I build production GenAI by day and my own products at night. I care about one thing most: making AI you can actually trust, not AI that just looks good in a demo.
I finish my Master's at Epitech in 2026. Until then, I let the work do the talking.
Idea to production, alone if I have to. Frontend, backend, infra, payments: I hold the whole chain.
"It feels good in the demo" is not a number you can ship on. I test my outputs against real cases.
The Epitech piscine every year. I even trained a small language model from scratch, just to understand how they work inside.
RAG workshops for PMs, mentoring interns, reusable patterns. What I build should be useful beyond me.
24-month apprenticeship (September 2024 to September 2026) within the Cloud Avenue product team, Orange's sovereign cloud. Hired as a junior Compute Product Owner, I grew the role into AI engineering: from a manual Excel benchmark and watch to AI and data tools in internal production.
End-to-end development of « KARL », automated competitive intelligence and RAG chatbot demoed live to the Orange Business CEO in July 2025: LangChain + ChromaDB orchestration, multi-LLM (Llama 3.3 70B, DeepSeek R1, QwQ 32B) on H100 NVL and L40S GPUs via vLLM. Model proxy listed in the internal application catalog (February 2026).
Sovereign AI demonstration prototype built with Claude Code in under a day for the global NVIDIA x Gcore webinar (June 2026). Competitive benchmarking platform covering European cloud providers, hyperscalers and LLM providers, results presented to COMEX, supporting a repricing review in spring 2026.
Benchmarked 6+ LLM models across 3 GPU tiers (H100 NVL, L40S, L4). Automated AI newsletter pipeline (93+ weekly editions).
Led RAG workshops for product managers, onboarded 2 interns on agentic AI projects. Handover prepared: documentation and tutorials left to the teams and incoming apprentices.
Pioneering generative AI project (from January 2023, just 2 months after ChatGPT's launch): end-to-end management of a GPT-4 chatbot for the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. Solution benchmarking (RFI), PoC, negotiation and contracting with BotsCrew.
Coordinated a 2-3 person team + vendor, delivered in 4 months. Localization in 5 languages (EN, JP, ID, FR, ES), deployed on Facebook Messenger and web widget. 73,000+ fan interactions in 2 weeks, 71.51% conversation completion rate.
Created analytical dashboards (BI) via GA4 and BigQuery (GCP). UI/UX improvements and digital marketing participation.
Summer internship at the Cantonal Social Insurance Office of Geneva.
