About

Full-stack engineer since 2014. I started in PHP and Drupal, picked up React and Node along the way, and have spent most of that decade shipping web platforms at scale.
The AI and automation work is more recent, roughly the last four years: agent orchestration, retrieval pipelines, and n8n workflows that replace manual queues. It builds on the same backend and infrastructure skills, just pointed somewhere new.
Based in Paris. Open to consulting and contract work.

Healthcare · 2025 +

Agent orchestration for a healthcare operations platform

Multi-agent system that triages clinical documents, extracts structured data, and routes cases through a review pipeline. Replaced a manual queue for a 120-person ops team.

Avg document turnaround

Designed the full system: agent graph, tool contracts, retrieval layer, audit trails. The old process was a spreadsheet queue. Replaced it with a state machine that agents operate inside of.

Most of the work went into making it legible to non-technical reviewers. Every action is traceable and tied back to the source document.

Publishing · 2024 +

Drupal migration and performance work for a national publisher

Moved years of editorial content from a legacy CMS to Drupal. Got caching, media, and search working well enough for 500K+ monthly readers.

P95 page render

Wrote custom migration plugins to normalize 14 content types across three source databases. Editorial kept publishing in the old system until cutover, and diffs were synced continuously.

After launch: render cache strategy, image derivatives on a CDN, and search reindexed to Elasticsearch with boosts editors can tune themselves.

Public sector · 2024 +

Workflow automation for a government digital service

n8n workflows that cut about 80% of manual back-office work for a citizen-facing service. Full audit trails on everything.

Integrated systems

2.1M

Records processed / yr

Started as "automate the forms handling" and turned into a full integration project. Legacy SOAP endpoints, a GDS design-system front end, and a review board that needed human checkpoints at specific stages.

Ended up as a small set of independent workflows instead of one big pipeline. Each has its own SLA, failure routing, and owner.

E-commerce · 2023 +

Semantic search and RAG for an e-commerce knowledge base

Replaced a broken keyword search with hybrid semantic + lexical retrieval over ~40K SKUs and years of support tickets.

Median query latency

Built a labelled eval set from real tickets before writing any retrieval code. That's what told us when hybrid scoring was actually helping vs just adding noise.

Shipped it behind the same internal UI the support team already used. The old search box just got better, no training needed.
