What I'm looking for

I take on a limited number of engagements in architecture, AI, and data, focusing on understanding how a company operates, identifying what should be automated, and building systems that work with what’s already in place.

I build AI systems that run in production, not demos. At Biolife tech I lead the AI and data platform: satellite imagery detection for agricultural plots with PyTorch and Google Earth Engine over Copernicus Sentinel-2 and PlanetScope, served through FastAPI, PostGIS and Docker.

Around that I build LLM systems end to end: retrieval-augmented generation over business documents, agentic workflows, evaluation harnesses and process automation. Python first, with Java/Spring Boot and PHP/Symfony behind me from seven years of backend engineering.

At Growth-In, the company I run, I take projects from business analysis and solution design through to systems that actually run. I delivered an audit platform with field data synchronisation for Hymep, and DLTresors, a marketplace with reservations and online payments. Earlier I built scientific information platforms at MFSG AFRIQUE and transfer and e-commerce applications at ICT Consulting.

I have worked across audit, payments, e-commerce, agribusiness and scientific information. What interests me is what a model actually changes for the business, and I am comfortable owning a system from design to production.
