What I'm looking for

Freelance / contractor only (B2B or French umbrella company), no permanent roles. Fully remote, compatible with residence in France (CET). Available now. Targets: AI & Cloud Solutions Architect, Agentic AI / GenAI Architect, Forward Deployed AI Engineer, AWS Cloud Architect, Cloud / AI Tech Lead, FinOps Architect. I build reliable, secure, cost-efficient AI systems on production cloud.

AI & Cloud Solutions Architect and Tech Lead with 12+ years designing, modernising and running critical platforms on AWS (energy, banking, telecom, e-commerce, SaaS). Freelance consultant based in Paris, available now for remote contractor engagements.

Client delivery: at EDF Solar Solutions (2023-2026) I co-defined the cloud and software architecture of a multi-tenant AWS SaaS platform and led its progressive move to modular, domain-oriented services (DDD). I cut critical API response times from 20 s to 2 s with RDS Proxy and read replicas, and reduced environment provisioning from several days to under an hour with Terraform + Sceptre. Before that: a serverless AWS platform at EDF Renewables, the redesign of a Kafka event-driven microservices platform as technical referent for several squads at Natixis (SAFe), and 40% lower API latency at Total Wash.

Generative & Agentic AI: I build LLM applications with LangGraph and the Claude API: typed state, structured outputs validated by strict Pydantic contracts, human-in-the-loop with checkpointed resume, basic prompt-injection guardrails and network-free tests (Job Agent). Claude Code Architect - Professional certification in preparation.

Founder & builder since May 2026: CostPilot, a B2B FinOps SaaS for AWS (FastAPI, Next.js, multi-tenant, deterministic rules engine, guard-railed autopilot; private beta) and the Hirafy home-services marketplace mobile app (Expo / React Native). Co-founder of Alphynex LLC.

FinOps & leadership: double FinOps certification, cost built into architecture decisions; mentored 5-15 engineers and led teams of 3-8.

Certifications: AWS Solutions Architect - Professional & Associate, FinOps Certified Engineer & Practitioner, HashiCorp Terraform Associate, iSAQB CPSA-F. Languages: French, English, Arabic (native), Spanish (B1).
