About Christopher

Lauréat de la compétition de datascience FINTOC (compréhension automatique de la structure d'un document) en 2021
Auteur du livre "Deep learning with Theano" en 2017
15 000 visiteurs uniques sur christopher5106 github
Diplômé du master "mathématiques, vision par ordinateur et apprentissage informatique" (MVA) de l'ENS Cachan en 4e année de l'Ecole Polytechnique

J'ai travaillé sur de nombreux projets et POC, à partir de mon expertise en vision par ordinateur au départ (détection de piétons, analyse automatique des factures, des documents d'identité, des plaques d'immatriculations, des contrefaçons, recherche visuelle, géolocalisation par l'image, ...) puis en langage naturel (analyse automatique des documents, des contrats, classification des lignes de dépenses, chatbots, déduplication de bases de données d'entités légales ou produits, ...).

Je suis à votre disposition pour vous accompagner, ou bien en tant que développeur Python/Machine Learning/IA/data science/data-engineer, ou bien en phase amont de vos projets pour discuter de la faisabilité: rien ne vaut une bonne étude avant de se lancer.

Experience

  • Scenario
    Senior AI developer
    VIDEO GAMES AND ANIMATION
    October 2023 - Today (2 years and 9 months)
    Paris, France
    Development of Scenario's GPU inferences: serverless ML endpoints for image, video, and 3D generation, deployed on Replicate and Modal, from the first commit through 200+ production PRs.
    - Diffusion inference at scale (FLUX.1 dev/Kontext/Krea, FLUX.2, Qwen Image, Z-Image), including ControlNet/depth/canny, Redux, inpaint/fill, img2img, negative prompting, and torch compilation for latency reduction.
    - Platform migration of inference and training workloads from Replicate (cog) to Modal serverless GPU infrastructure (inference, upscaling, fast-flux, training), cutting cold-start and operational overhead.
    - Dynamic multi-model multi-pipeline serving system with LoRA hot-loading/routing (LorasManager over Modal Dict/Volume), async execution, and GPU right-sizing per (resolution, batch, rank); diagnosed and fixed deep VRAM leaks (diffusers hook cycles, torch.compile reference cycles, retry-path pipeline leaks).
    - LoRA ecosystem: Implemented Flux.2 Lora Training in Kohya/Musubi-Tuner framework, multi-format LoRA compatibility (Kohya, XLabs, ComfyUI, diffusers), text-encoder LoRA loading/unloading, and conversion utilities (regression fixes across transformers/diffusers upgrades).
    - Training pipelines: Shipped LoRA fine-tuning services (Kohya, musubi-tuner) for FLUX, Kontext, Krea, Qwen Image, Z-Image, and FLUX.2, with S3 dataset ingestion, preemption/retry resilience, and idempotent resume on spot interruption.
    - Panorama/360° generation: Developed seamless skybox generation and upscaling (circular padding, seamless attention, nadir correction, color/variance-matched tiled refinement with IP-Adapter and ControlNet).
    - Creative-tooling products: video subtitles (transcription, translation, styling, Remotion-rendered animated themes) and image/video layer extractor
    - Security & reliability: Sandboxed untrusted AI-generated code rendering, hardened webhook delivery with differentiated retry policies, and eliminated recurring OOM/stability failures across GPU services.
