ENGINEERING & RESEARCH PROJECTS

Featured Technical Work

AI Chatbots & RAG Pipeline for City of Épinal

Engineered municipal AI systems during a summer internship at DGSITG. Fine-tuned open-weight LLMs on municipal datasets and built a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture connected to city databases, reducing manual support ticket workload by 37%. Also launched a public Dialogflow CX assistant on epinal.fr.
