What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical leadership roles where I can architect cloud-native, AI-enabled platforms, mentor teams, drive product-grade reliability, and deliver measurable business impact in security-conscious, growth-focused organizations.

I am a Solutions Architect with 15+ years transforming FinTech and enterprise platforms into cloud-native, AI-ready systems and building engineering organizations at scale. I combine hands-on technical leadership with strategic architecture to deliver measurable business outcomes.

At Pattern I modernized legacy systems into a globally scalable, AI-enabled platform, implementing ML-ready data architectures, hybrid RAG/LLM ecosystems, and multi-region containerized infrastructure to improve retention and time-to-market.

Previously I built and led a high-performing development center for a Paris-based FinTech, driving a service-to-product transformation that positioned the company for VC funding and a successful exit. I have scaled delivery centers from scratch and led teams up to 200+ engineers while remaining technically involved.

My strengths include microservices, event-driven systems, cloud (AWS/Azure), AI/ML integration, security-first architectures, and developer experience. I prioritize measurable reliability, secure design, and mentoring engineering teams to operational excellence.
