Profile

We design and ship AI systems that move from prototype to production.

Beyond one-off POCs, we build scalable, orchestrated, production-grade systems wired into real business workflows.

Our job is to turn use cases from slides into real services: trustworthy data, stable APIs, useful interfaces, and observable AI once it’s live.

We work across the full arc — business framing, architecture (RAG, agents, data platforms), implementation, and industrialization (Cloud Run, CI/CD, quality).

What we build day to day

  • RAG architectures and domain assistants (sourced answers, document governance)
  • FastAPI backends and React / Next.js frontends for usable AI products
  • Data & finance pipelines on BigQuery (quality, reconciliation, reporting)
  • ML scoring, segmentation, and automated data-driven decisions
  • LLM observability (Langfuse), secrets hygiene, reproducible deployments

How we deliver

We start by clarifying the workflow: who decides with what, which dataset is the source of truth, and what “good” looks like in practice.

We prefer testable increments: small releases, visible metrics, and technical debt surfaced early.

We document and hand over: a deliverable without transfer doesn’t create lasting value for the team.

Field context

We’ve shipped in demanding settings: consulting & innovation (Axys), retail & finance (Carrefour), automotive (Škoda), postal and mobility (La Poste, SNCF, Air France).

Those contexts trained us for month-end pressure, sensitive data, and the trade-offs between analytical rigor and product speed.

Stack & continuity

AI side: LangChain, LangGraph, MCP, multi-vendor LLMs (OpenAI, Gemini, Vertex AI).

Data & platform: Python, SQL, BigQuery, GCP, Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions.

We keep a steady eye on agents and LLMOps — to recommend durable technical choices, not only what’s trending.

What motivates us

Making AI actionable: systems embedded in workflows, measurable, and maintainable — not just isolated demos.
