What I'm looking for

I’m looking for on-site/hybrid roles in Lille(FR)/Prague(CZ) (or hybrid Paris/Brussels) or fully remote across the EU, where I can lead enterprise modernization and/or AI-assisted engineering—hands-on, driving production readiness, risk controls, and multi-team delivery.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead specializing in enterprise modernization and AI-assisted engineering. I built a Python/LangChain workbench for C#-to-Java and SOAP-to-REST transformation, reducing manual migration effort by 50–60%.

I also developed AI-assisted observability automation for Infor Birst across ~200 production instances. I’ve led major platform transitions from ASP.NET Framework to ASP.NET Core on Linux/EKS—from initial proposal to global production—reducing platform cost by 70% and improving operational control.

From directing production rollouts across multiple environments to leading a 4-person engineering team (while staying hands-on in architecture), I focus on staged validation, risk management, and measurable outcomes. I’m ready to help teams accelerate modernization, stabilize delivery, and apply AI where it improves engineering throughput and production readiness.
