Scientific Engineer & AI Builder

The frame on the left is a real finite element solver running in your browser — assembling stiffness matrices, solving eigenvalue problems, rendering mode shapes. I bring the same engineering rigor to AI systems.
Currently building a company in stealth, while offering consulting and training to engineering teams. Previously Head of Software at Jimmy Energy, transforming traditional workflows into code-driven systems.

I'm a scientific computing engineer turned Head of Software, currently building my own company. After years designing nuclear systems and leading engineering teams, I offer training and consulting services to bootstrap the venture. I believe the best engineering is code-driven, version-controlled, and built to last.

Jimmy Energy
Head of Software & Comex member — 2022–2025
Jimmy Energy builds micro nuclear reactors to decarbonise industrial heat. When I joined, the engineering team relied on a legacy PLM and file-based workflows — a big design update took months.
What we built
- Replaced the legacy PLM with a Python-based system (PyJimmy) where all systems are described in code
- Synchronized all teams via GitHub, with quality checks through pull requests
- Automated verification of regulatory requirements with GitHub Actions
- Built a RAG system on 1 million technical PDFs for knowledge retrieval
Results
- A big design update now takes days instead of the months expected in the industry
- Safer outcomes — automated checks and Python-coded relationships prevent copy-pasting errors
- Engineers spend time engineering instead of managing files
- Clean, versioned data enables AI workflows across the organisation
"A big update in their design takes them days instead of the many months expected in their industry. And the result is much safer, because the checks are automated and the relationships coded in Python prevent copy-pasting errors."
