Pierre Vermeil

Working through SII (Société pour l'Informatique Industrielle), I partnered with an insurance-sector client near Sophia Antipolis to provide hands-on, immersive support to a developer and a Product Owner (PO). The goal was to adopt a spec-driven methodology and better align AI agents with the team's development objectives for an existing brownfield codebase. To achieve this, I trained them in the OpenSpec framework, with a focus on 90% practical application. This engagement allowed me to put my flagship Spec-driven consulting offering to the test: an immersive, small-group week on-site designed to make rapid progress on concrete use cases. You can view my service offering on my professional website: pierrevermeil dot com.
