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.

Transformation, engineered

A five-step operating system I install inside organizations — from first audit to compounding, measured returns. People included, not replaced.

  1. Diagnose

    Map where AI actually moves your P&L — workflows, data, people. You leave with a prioritized opportunity map.

    output: opportunity map
  2. Prove

    A production-grade pilot in weeks, not quarters — with evals and an honest benchmark from day one.

    output: measurable pilot
  3. Platform

    Gateway, governance, telemetry: the rails that make AI safe, auditable and affordable at scale.

    output: AI rails
  4. Enable

    Train every individual on the most advanced tools on the market — AI-native ways of working, role by role.

    output: AI-native team
  5. Scale

    Roll out across products and teams, compound the gains, and keep score with KPIs leadership trusts.

    output: compounding ROI

One intent, a fleet of agents

This is what work feels like after the transformation — you state the goal, governed agents do the legwork, and humans approve what matters. Replayed here exactly as it runs in production.

pascal@pascalnet:~/transformation — orchestrator

Animated demo: a mission — “close the books 3 days faster” — is dispatched to five governed AI agents that analyze the ERP, build and review a workflow, pass a 98.4% benchmark, and finish with a human approval gate: 3 days of work compressed to 4 hours.

The reference architecture

The governed rails I install: one gateway, one orchestrator, a fleet of specialized agents — every request metered, evaluated and auditable. Watch the packets flow.

Grounded answers

The questions decision-makers ask before an engagement.

What does an AI transformation engagement look like?

A five-step arc — diagnose, prove, platform, enable, scale. You get a prioritized opportunity map in days, a production-grade pilot in weeks, then governed rails and training that make the gains stick.

How fast can we expect measurable ROI?

Pilots ship in weeks with evals and a benchmark from day one, so ROI is measured — not estimated. On my flagship platform, an honest benchmark harness took task pass rate from 53% to 98% while the test suite grew past 5,500 green tests.

Do AI agents replace people?

No — the goal is augmentation. Agents absorb repetitive work under human approval gates, and every individual gets trained on the most advanced AI tools on the market. People included, not replaced.

Which stacks and industries do you cover?

Claude, GPT and Gemini behind one governed gateway, on Azure and AWS — deployed inside vertical software: ERP, WMS, finance and operations. Based in Montréal, working with teams globally in French and English.
