Agentic Engineering Lead

AI Architect & Engineer · MbarQ

I lead MbarQ's agentic engineering practice — the standards, tooling, and enablement for humans and AI agents to ship software together. Behind it: 10+ years of engineering, 7 shipping production AI for Fortune 500 and public-sector clients, and a pattern of re-tooling ahead of the curve — semiconductor R&D → ML → MLOps → GenAI → agentic systems.

Experience

MbarQ (Belgium)

Apr 2025 – Present

Agentic Engineering Lead

May 2026 – Present
  • Lead MbarQ's agentic engineering practice — setting the standards, tooling, and enablement for building with AI coding agents company-wide.
  • Defined the team's agentic way of working and drove company-wide adoption through internal workshops, reusable tooling, and industry research.
Agentic Engineering Knowledge Base & LLM-Wiki — Team-wide Claude Code standards, on-demand doctrine, and a library of reusable skills and playbooks, paired with an "LLM-Wiki" knowledge vault that agents maintain and that mirrors the internal repos. Tech: Claude Code, Markdown, Python, Git hooks / CI.
Claude Code Teams Bot — A Microsoft Teams bot that runs Claude Code autonomously: a queue-backed worker executes coding jobs on Azure and posts progress cards back into the chat, gated by an AAD sender allowlist and a secrets sandbox. Tech: TypeScript, Microsoft Teams SDK, Azure Container Apps, Bicep.
AI Translator Workflow App — A cross-platform desktop app that wraps Claude Code in headless mode to guide non-technical "AI Translators" through a structured, multi-stage project-scoping workflow, writing artifacts straight into the shared team vault. Tech: Python, FastAPI, React, pywebview, PyInstaller.
Agentic Landscape Site — A static microsite that maps MbarQ's entire agentic way of working on one screen — pillars, agent layer, and role-based onboarding paths — and distributes the team's desktop apps. Content is federated from four repos at build time, guarded by link-check gates, a doc-drift tripwire, and post-deploy smoke tests. Tech: HTML/CSS/vanilla JS, Python, GitHub Actions, Azure Static Web Apps.

Senior AI Architect & Engineer

Apr 2025 – May 2026
  • Led end-to-end GenAI engagements: discovery, architecture, hands-on implementation, and go-live support.
LaunchPad (Internal) — Built a modular RAG accelerator framework on Azure for enterprise chatbot deployments; extended it with an agentic architecture to automate multi-step workflows. Tech: Python, FastAPI, Azure OpenAI, LangChain, Vue 3.
Fiducia 4.0 (Puratos) — Predictive quality control for food manufacturing: ML classifiers that predict QC failures of finished products at run level, before lab results come in, combining plant process/sensor (PI) data, raw-material lineage, and historical QC measurements. Built the production-grade pipeline end-to-end on Azure ML — automated batch detection and feature engineering, per-product/per-criterion model training, and drift monitoring — deployed across multiple production sites with differing data availability. "Golden recipe" analysis translates the models into optimal process settings and diagnostics operators can act on, linking predictions to concrete quality and cost improvements. Tech: Python, Azure ML.

Nemeon (Belgium)

Apr 2024 – Mar 2025

AI Solution Architect & Tech Lead

  • Designed and implemented GenAI solutions (document intelligence, process optimization) using LlamaIndex and LLM APIs.
  • Mentored engineers in applied GenAI patterns, delivery practices, and client communication.
BioSignature 2.0 (Johnson & Johnson) — Led consolidation of multiple microservices developed by different teams into an efficient, streamlined, modular data and ML pipeline utilizing event-driven architecture and AWS Step Function. Reduced prediction turnaround from days to hours. Tech: Python, AWS (Step Function, SageMaker), KServe, Argo, Kubernetes, Jenkins.

Dataroots (Belgium)

Jan 2022 – Nov 2023

Senior ML & MLOps Engineer, Coach

  • Coached junior ML engineers and interns across the full lifecycle with emphasis on engineering quality.
Dynamic Pricing (Proximus) — Built reinforcement-learning-based dynamic pricing system that drove 100% profit growth within nine months. Tech: Python, PyTorch.
Chatbot (BNP Paribas Fortis) — Developed a secure on-premises chatbot service with Llama 2.

Arinti (Belgium)

Nov 2020 – Dec 2021

AI Engineer

  • Streamlined pipelines with Azure Data Factory/Synapse and Azure DevOps.
Demand Forecasting (Unilever) — Developed sale and demand forecasting applications to reduce shortages and overproduction, shaping production strategies across facilities. Tech: Databricks, PySpark, Azure (Synapse, Cognitive Services).

Crunch Analytics (Belgium)

Nov 2019 – Nov 2020

Data Scientist

  • Built NLP feature extraction pipelines with BigQuery to support strategic product decisions.
  • Delivered NLP, web scraping, and optimization projects end-to-end.

TSMC (Taiwan)

Jan 2015 – Aug 2018

R&D Engineer

  • Developed ML models for semiconductor packaging optimization; reduced product development timelines by 20%.
  • Led thermal/structural analysis workstreams influencing reliability and design decisions.

Side Projects

Dayboard

Python (stdlib-only) • SQLite • Claude Code • GitHub CLI

A one-screen command center for the agentic working day: auto-detects Claude Code sessions, open PRs, and TODO items to claim into today's plan, launches purpose-seeded agent sessions in the right repo, and drafts AI-merged weekly timesheets from daily diary notes. Model calls fire only on explicit human action, and every AI output is validated rather than trusted.

Lilai

Node.js • Express • PostgreSQL • WebSockets • Stripe • PWA

Event RSVP platform serving a real community: Google Calendar acts as the CMS, attendance updates live over WebSockets, and a Stripe-backed group treasury tracks donations toward funding goals. Offline-capable PWA deployed on Heroku with automated encrypted database backups.

ChocoMold

React 19 • Three.js • React Three Fiber • Vite

Interactive web app transforming SVG artwork into 3D-printable chocolate mold STL files. Features drag-and-drop upload, real-time 3D preview, and one-click export.
