NLP/GenAI & Applied AI Expert
Montreal, Canada
I'm a builder at the intersection of language, intelligence, and technology. With a background in NLP, machine learning, and full-stack engineering, I design systems that bring advanced AI and generative models,to real users in meaningful ways. My work spans end-to-end: prototyping with tools like LangChain and RAG, deploying on cloud-native infrastructure, and iterating products that balance technical depth with usability. Whether as a co-founder or core contributor, I’m looking to create or join a team pushing the frontier of applied AI. My mission: to make AI useful, human-centered, solving real problems with elegance and impact.

- Launched Dentox™, a premium denture-care line available on Dentox.ca. Built a fully autonomous AI service stack that handles product questions, orders, and voice calls—reducing the need for live support to nearly zero.
- Integrated a LangChain + LangGraph + RAG assistant (running Llama 3 locally) for real-time Q&A and order taking, plus a Twilio + ElevenLabs voice system that answers calls and posts orders directly to the backend.
- Automated the entire customer journey in both English and French—from prompt handling to emails and voice responses—while connecting checkout and fulfillment through Amazon APIs and Shopify. Result: smooth, scalable operations with zero manual input and no added headcount.
AI Developer — Automated Google Review Reply System
shockwav.ai
Montreal, Canada | 2025 — Present (Ongoing Development)
- Designed and deployed an AI-powered system that automatically replies to Google reviews across multiple business locations. The system fetches real-time reviews using the Google Business Profile API, generates context-aware responses with Ollama (LLaMA) + LangChain RAG, and detects review language (EN/FR) to apply brand-aligned, customizable templates.
- Positive reviews are auto-responded using sentiment logic, while neutral or negative feedback is routed to an approval dashboard. A web-based console (built with Firebase, FastAPI, and Firestore) supports onboarding, reply review, and monthly PDF reporting—fully optimized for multi-location and multi-profile businesses.
