Software engineer, specialized in artificial intelligence, computer vision and algorithms.

About

As a computer engineering graduate, I worked at major American and French companies — GoPro and DXOMARK — where I built my expertise in computer vision, project management and algorithms. Along the way, I learned how large organizations work and the rigor that comes with them.

Now freelance, I work with clients along two complementary axes. First: designing and integrating AI solutions — computer vision, natural language processing, algorithms. From upfront consulting and writing the specifications, to implementation, to building the business applications that put the solution to work, all the way to deployment at the client's site.

Second: straight software development — frontend, backend, APIs. For clients who need an internal business tool for their own teams, or a product to deliver to their end users.

I'm convinced AI transforms technical processes as much as business management — but it only truly pays off when it stands on solid software, built to last.

How I work

Ownership & delivery

Comfortable carrying a project end-to-end: scoping, spec, development, deployment, support. That's what I did at GoPro, and what I do for my freelance clients today.

Rigor from large organizations

My time at GoPro and DXOMARK taught me the processes of large companies: code quality, documentation, structured collaboration.

AI embedded in processes

I'm convinced AI is transforming both creative/technical processes and business management. I help my clients integrate it where it genuinely creates value.
