Hello, I'm Athos.
I'm a Technical AI Lead specializing in Generative/Conversational AI, Computer Vision, RAG and Knowledge Graphs.
About me
I specialize in delivering practical, high-impact solutions that help organizations solve complex challenges, enhance productivity, and unlock real business value.
With 15 years of experience across public and private sectors, including Financial Services, Oil & Gas, Renewable Energy, Legal, and Academia, I bring both deep technical expertise and strategic leadership to every engagement.
When I'm not working, I put on Daddy's Hat and join in the muddy puddles. If time allows, I enjoy playing video games, watching movies, and playing the guitar.
