French secondary education Baccalauréat (French secondary school diploma)About me
Thirty years in production environments where downtime costs money — banks, telecoms, energy, pharma. I take over systems nobody documented, clear backlogs, and make batch chains run. Straight answers, no jargon. Currently building AI-driven platforms end to end, from requirements to run.

Project history
Design, architecture, development and operation of complete platforms driven by agentic AI. From requirements to production: build AND run. Multi-service web ecosystem: publishing platform, 24/7 radio, audio streaming, community, e-commerce. Multi-server infrastructure, multi-layer reverse proxy, role segregation, GDPR compliance. Document ETL pipelines: multi-format extraction (PDF/OCR/DOCX/HTML), full-text indexing — 1,700 documents, search validated at 10,000 in under one second. Per-resource locking (flock): 15 concurrent agents, zero write conflict. Production/staging workflow with differential comparison, usage monitoring with automatic cut-off, backups proven restorable by actual restoration. Local voice transcription (Whisper/CTranslate2): fully sovereign, zero data transmitted.
Reinforcement assignment on a saturated backlog of 300 incidents. Backlog fully cleared in three months, including technical coordination. Run management of the information system. Control-M V9 scheduler administration. NVDM (IBM) go-lives. Integration of new components and middleware. Shell scripting and deployment automation. Environment: Control-M V9, Linux, AIX, NVDM, Tomcat. Fully remote.
