What I'm looking for

I'm open to freelance missions and permanent roles where I can build production forecasting, machine learning, data governance, and generative AI solutions.

I build demand forecasting systems for large international retailers at SymphonyAI Retail, working with millions of observations and improving statistical and machine learning models including SARIMA, Moving Average, and Random Forest. I automate forecasting workflows, track reproducible experiments with MLflow, and contribute to client technical reviews with international teams.

Previously, I built an AI budget forecasting platform at Intelcia using XGBoost, ElasticNet, and SARIMA, alongside Power BI reporting and LLM-powered conversational analytics. My work also spans data governance at CAT Assurance & Réassurance, retail data quality at Label'Vie, and deep-learning prediction applications for OCP Group.
