Applied AI Engineer based in Montréal. I build production-grade machine learning and generative AI systems in an enterprise context. 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.
