Work Experience

Generative Artificial Intelligence Engineer — End-of-Studies Internship at ALTEN Rennes
September 1, 2025 - October 27, 2025
Led a functional and technical scoping phase for an LLMs Ops pipeline to evaluate automatic summarization models. Designed a modular architecture for automated evaluation of LLMs, including components for assessment, human supervision, and model orchestration. Conducted a comparative study of LLM evaluation approaches (classic metrics, RLHF, LLM-as-a-Judge), identifying their strengths, limitations, and use cases. Designed a questionnaire for the first pilot phase of the campaign, ensuring clarity and relevance of the questions. Integrated targeted human feedback on a small sample of outputs to calibrate the questionnaire, measure annotator agreement, and optimize evaluation timing. Implemented automatic evaluation using the “LLM-as-a-judge” paradigm, leveraging separate language models to assess the core competencies demonstrated in the summarization task. Analyzed evaluation results to identify trends, quantify performance, and guide improvements in both human and automated asses
Research and Development Engineer at Docaposte
August 1, 2024 - October 27, 2025
Developed an algorithm for detecting graphical inputs with text and graphical components from images, named GANaM. Generated and annotated a dataset specific to GANaM, including over 10,000 examples, for improved text recognition accuracy. Extended and enhanced an existing text recognition dataset, boosting performance by 70%. Collaborated effectively within an agile team environment.
