What I Do

I lead the AI Architecture and Innovation team at Orange, a transversal role spanning engineering, infrastructure and company-wide AI strategy.

The work covers production agentic systems, enterprise AI infrastructure, cost governance and the shared foundations that let teams across the company build on top of.

01

Agentic Systems

Agentic systems built to run in production, not just in demos. Real architectures with observability, cost controls, and the engineering rigor to keep them running at scale.

02

AI Governance

Governance frameworks that let teams move fast without losing control. Budget caps, RBAC, prompt versioning, and the structures that keep AI usage predictable at scale.

03

Architecture & Strategy

Turning company-wide AI strategy into technical decisions that hold up in production. From infrastructure design to the shared standards teams build on top of.
