Head of Engineering | Audit & technical advisory
Securing critical technical decisions
I step in when AI, data or platform projects become unclear, risky or blocked. Before things go off track, or when they already have.
Audit, framing, steering, recovery
Sensitive contexts: legal, healthcare, public sector
AI / data / platform systems
Remote first. On-site possible for project kickoff, crisis situations or key milestones, in France or Europe.
Framework
Few meetings. Time for analysis. Clear written outputs.
ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, used as a decision framework, not as a checklist.

When to involve me
4 common situations
Stalled project, high uncertainty
Too many options, no clear decisions, unstable trajectory.
Technical debt turning into risk
Quality, security, performance, costs. Risk increases, no one owns decisions.
Unclear security, compliance or governance
Responsibilities and evidence to structure, without bureaucracy.
Teams deliver, impact stays low
High activity, limited outcomes. The trajectory needs correction.
What you get
Decisions, trajectory, risk reduction
Audit
Clear diagnosis, risks, root causes. Technical, organizational, human.
Framing
Architecture, priorities, decisions to make, explicit trade-offs.
Steering
Critical path, governance, ownership, meaningful follow-up.
Recovery
Getting things back on track and reducing risk, without noise.
Delivery support
Supporting execution without acting as a daily developer.
ISO 27001
Decision and risk framework. Not a checklist, not a certification promise.

If you are looking for a full-time hands-on developer, I am not the right profile 🙂
