May 2001 - Present
25 years 6 months
Paris, France
Over 25 years of experience in technology development, currently focused on AI-powered application development and advanced language model integration. Leveraging modern AI-assisted development practices to build sophisticated platforms for complex data analysis, intelligent automation, and knowledge management. Key Focus Areas & Implementations: (1) AI-Assisted Development Revolution Transformed development workflow using cutting-edge AI coding assistants (Claude by Anthropic, Gemini/JSC by Google) integrated with Visual Studio Code. This AI-first approach enables accelerated development velocity, intelligent code generation, real-time debugging, and sophisticated architectural guidance - fundamentally revolutionizing productivity and code quality over the past 6 months. (2) LLM Platform Integration & AI-Powered Applications Architected custom integrations with leading AI platforms (OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini) for intelligent data processing and automated workflows. Key implementations: financial investment system combining multiple AI platforms with Neo4j graph databases (Python/Django backend, React frontend); digital humanities research platform leveraging advanced NLP libraries (GATE, NLTK, spaCy, Scikit-learn) for text analysis and statistical processing. (3) Graph Database & Knowledge Management Systems Developed sophisticated graph-based architectures using Neo4j for complex relationship modeling and knowledge graphs. Implementations include text components management system with Python APIs and React interface, optimizing creation and reuse of communication materials through intelligent content management. Technical Stack: Python (Django/Flask), JavaScript/React, Neo4j graph databases, advanced NLP libraries, LLM API integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), Git/GitHub, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Google Cloud deployment.

Head of Software Development- Automatic Processing System for Nuclear Physics Images
College de France, Nuclear Physics Laboratory - University of Paris VI - Computer Science
Feb 1972 - Jul 1978
6 years 6 months
Paris, France
CRT electronic image processing device connected to a computer system for processing bubble chamber images in nuclear physics. The system is semi-automatic, due to the complexity of the images an operator who can intervene at any time. For the software part, we created a META-MACHINE offering a virtual interface adapted to the physicists conceptual framework where he/she can setup the image processing scripts without any knowledge of the intrinsic computer/software features. The system, dubbed "CRT-Paris" is now on display at the Science Museum La Villette (Paris).
