Work Experience

Decathlon FranceSept 2025 - Present
AI & ML Engineer (Work-Study)
  • Built DAISI (Decathlon AI Supplier Informations), a production Google Chat Enterprise Agent for supplier-process questions. Used LangChain/LangGraph, FastAPI, Vertex AI, Vector Database and Search, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, MLflow/Databricks, Model Armor, DLP, GDPR safeguards, and Terraform. Impact: 13,000 hours/year saved and successful load test with 1000 concurrent users.
  • Led OpsBot, an Enterprise Agent for maintenance, safety, and compliance workflows. Built governed-source RAG with source-backed answers, safe fallback, traces, evaluation, Vertex AI RAG Engine, GDPR safeguards, and an internal agent library I built to standardize agents, tools, traces, evaluation, and deployment. Expected impact / ROI: 85% first-line resolution target, 14,500+ h/year reallocated, ~€540k productivity reallocation.
  • Led Summarizer, a Gemini-powered summarization platform orchestrated with Airflow/MWAA, AWS EKS/S3/ECR, Databricks Delta refresh, runtime validation, and operator runbooks.
  • Led internal AI/Tech innovation through a weekly newsletter, onboarding guide, documentation/runbooks, 15+ hours of GenAI/AI/Tech trainings, and internal hackathons.

Decathlon BelgiumMay 2025 - Aug 2025
Data Scientist - MLOps (Internship)
  • Led a strategic Data Science project to industrialize the prediction of 8 key sales KPIs (GMV, items sold) segmented by channel (InStore/OutStore, 1P/3P) for 64 sports categories.
  • Built an automated forecasting pipeline using XGBoost, Apache Spark, PySpark, Databricks, AWS S3, Airflow/MWAA, and MLflow.
  • Achieved +15% forecast accuracy improvement (MAPE) vs. previous manual process through rigorous model comparison (Prophet, XGBoost, LightGBM, Chronos-Bolt), feature engineering (weather, holidays, lag features), parallel processing with joblib, and deployment to MLflow Model Registry for production inference. Automated exports to Google Sheets/Tableau for business stakeholders.
