AI Engineer — MCP agents & AI workflows

Based in Paris — I build MCP servers, LLM workflows, and Next.js apps for product teams and enterprise clients.

About

"“Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming.”" — Brian Kernighan

AI Engineer in Paris with ~8 years of experience at Livingcolor, contracting for TotalEnergies, France Télévisions, AFP, TV5Monde, Harmonie Mutuelle, and LVMH houses (Krug, Moët, Hennessy).

On the side I ship open source tools on GitHub — ai-code-reviewer-mcp, git-mentor, redbee-mcp — and contribute to products like VisualQ (visual regression testing). Trained at 42, MCP & AI Agents certified (Hugging Face) and ML specialization (Coursera).
