From game engines to AI transformation

I help organizations become AI-native — transforming how their products work and how their people perform. As Portfolio AI Lead at Valsoft and Edelweiss Software Group, I lead AI transformation across a global portfolio of vertical software companies, taking agentic AI from strategy to production: governed data access, human-approved actions, and LLMOps telemetry that makes AI ROI measurable.

My daily toolkit: multi-agent orchestration, tool calling, structured outputs, RAG grounding, human-in-the-loop design and AI evaluation. I manage AI as a product portfolio — prioritization matrices, KPI tracking and rigorous ROI evaluation decide what ships.

Before that, I advised government agencies on AI, co-authored winning multi-million-dollar grant proposals, built a Prix Octas 2025 award-winning AI curriculum — and spent a decade shipping large-scale software at Playtika, Ludia, Ubisoft, CAE Healthcare, Dassault Systèmes and Genetec.

What I deliver

Production AI, not demos — every capability below is live inside enterprise products today.

Agentic AI & Multi-Agent Orchestration

Multi-agent copilots that translate natural language into governed reads and human-approved transactions — 300+ business operations live on Azure and AWS.

  • Tool calling
  • Structured outputs
  • Planners
  • Human-in-the-loop

RAG & Grounding

Retrieval-augmented systems that answer from your data, not vibes: FileSearch stores per ERP, grounded SQL, data validation, and guided next steps operators actually trust.

  • RAG stores
  • Grounded SQL
  • Context caching
  • Agentic vision

LLMOps & AI Governance

Centralized LLM gateways that normalize providers and meter tokens, cost and latency per tenant — billing, audit and ROI built in. Eval-gated releases and SOC 2 readiness.

  • LLM gateway
  • Token metering
  • Eval gates
  • SOC 2

AI Product & Commercialization

From beta rollouts to licensing, installers, demo environments and sales enablement — AI capabilities turned into revenue-generating product lines.

  • AI ROI
  • KPI tracking
  • Licensing
  • Beta programs

AI-Accelerated Engineering

Orchestrating AI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini — through structured, adversarial multi-round reviews. Delivery timelines compressed from months to weeks.

  • Claude Code
  • Multi-agent review
  • CI gates
  • Benchmarks

Speaking, Training & AI Talent

AI conference speaker and instructor. Prix Octas 2025 award-winning curriculum, corporate AI training, and hiring engines for AI & Forward Deployed Engineers.

  • Conferences
  • Curricula
  • FDE hiring
  • Communities

Every skill is a vector

Hover a skill — the others light up by cosine similarity, computed live in your browser. This is exactly how retrieval finds meaning in an embedding space.

From pre-training to deployment

A career that reads like a training run — fifteen years of gradient steps, each phase feeding the next.
