Blog & feedback

Field notes on tech, products and IS

Here I share concrete feedback on application architecture, DevOps, information systems integration, business applications, applied AI and the construction of digital products.

AI & industrialization

AI applied to development

Louis uses and explores AI tools to accelerate development, documentation, analysis and the delivery of technical projects. His approach remains pragmatic: AI is an accelerator, while production constraints, code quality, maintainability and real-world information systems remain central.

Use of Codex and AI agentsExperimenting with local models with OllamaDocumentation generationDevelopment aidDesign assistanceTask automationStructuring technical projectsRapid prototypingReflection on AI uses in business

Assisted development

Accelerate code production, reviews and understanding of existing code without delegating technical responsibility.

Accelerated Documentation

Transform exchanges, analyzes and technical rules more quickly into supports that can be used by teams.

Product prototyping

Quickly test an idea, frame a UX and validate the first hypotheses before industrializing.

Technical automation

Identify repetitive tasks and create assistants or scripts useful for delivery and support.

Monitoring and experimentation

Monitor the concrete uses of AI in IS projects, development and digital products.

Services

What I can bring

Targeted services to strengthen a project, secure an existing one, modernize an application or structure a product.

Audit and modernization of business applications

Analyze the existing situation, identify weaknesses, prioritize developments and propose a realistic modernization trajectory.

WINDEV / WEBDEV / WINDEV Mobile development

Create, maintain or develop specific business applications in the PC SOFT ecosystem.

Application architecture

Structure application components, clarify responsibilities, secure dependencies and improve maintainability.

information systems integration and middleware

Connect applications to each other via API, webservices, files, middleware or automated processing.

ERP / IFS Cloud

Application support and production

Method

A pragmatic, production-oriented method

Each mission is approached with a field reading: understanding the existing situation, clarifying the risks, moving forward in stages and delivering something usable.

01

To understand

Analysis of the context, uses, technical constraints, business irritants and existing dependencies.

02

Structure

Formalization of the need, division, prioritization, clarification of responsibilities and identification of risks.

03

04

Test

05

Sustain

Documentation, knowledge transfer, continuous improvement and secure maintenance.

My goal is not just to deliver a feature, but to produce a solution that is understandable, maintainable and useful over time.

Differentiation

What sets me apart

My background allows me to make the link between the field, users, technical teams, integrators and management. I understand the production constraints, business continuity issues, technical debt, dependencies on legacy tools and the need to progressively modernize without weakening the existing system.

01

Technical and business vision

Ability to understand both user needs and the technical reality behind the systems.

02

Experience in complex information systems

Accustomed to nested application environments, critical flows, ERP and historical applications.

03

04

Ability to take over the existing

Analysis, understanding, security and progressive improvement of systems already in place.

05

Entrepreneurial culture

Ground

Field experience of real systems

I regularly intervene in contexts where the existing situation is complex, poorly documented or strongly intertwined with business processes. My role is to restore clarity, secure flows, understand dependencies and propose realistic solutions.

Connect systems
