  • Open to AI roles, freelance, collaborations

Applied AI and Forward Deployed Engineer based in Montréal. I build agentic, RAG and automation systems for enterprise clients in regulated environments, from architecture to production. My background sits at the intersection of industrial engineering and data science, picked up at Polytechnique Montréal and HEC Montréal. Industrial engineering taught me to look at systems end to end: flows, bottlenecks, what creates value. Applied AI is the same lens with sharper tools.

Experience

  1. Forward Deployed Engineer, Agentic AI

    2026 – Present
