About Thibault

👋 Welcome

You know AI could help your business. The hard part is building it right, and making sure it keeps working six months down the line.

I'm a Machine Learning Engineer specializing in production AI systems, from data pipelines to ML models to LLM integration.

Since 2020, I've been turning prototypes into systems that run in the real world, at scale, and over the long term.

Prediction models, fraud detection, categorization engines, AI agents.
I've seen what works, and more importantly, what doesn't.

🎯 What I Build

💎 Prediction & forecasting models aligned with your actual business goals.No hype, just systems that solve real problems and move real numbers.

🛡️ Production-grade ML pipelines with automated monitoring. Your models stay accurate over time, not just on launch day.

💰 Cloud architectures on GCP, AWS, and Azure calibrated to handle high loads without skyrocketing costs.

🤖 LLM integration and AI agents built into your existing products. Not standalone demos, but features that actually ship.

📉 Long-term reliability through continuous monitoring and automated retraining. Your AI doesn't expire.

🏆 What Makes Me Different

🤝 I don't just know ML. I bring strong software engineering practices to every project, which means scalable, maintainable, documented code your team can actually own.

🚀 Zero over-engineering. Every line of code has a purpose, and the simplest solution that works is always the right one.

🔑 Full transparency. You always know what's being built, why it's being built, and how it performs.

Working with Thibault was an eye-opener. They didn't just run a standard checklist, they really dug into our architecture and found specific edge-cases that our internal team had become 'blind' to. The final report was refreshing: no academic fluff, just a clear, prioritized list of risks and exactly how to fix them. If you want a sanity check on your AI that actually goes deep, this is the person to hire.
