Hi, I'm Antonin.
Staff Engineer building AI-backed systems, engineering standards, and the workflows that let teams ship serious software.
Staff engineer focused on the infrastructure production LLM systems run on: evaluation harnesses, multi-provider dispatch, rate-limit handling, and guardrails on model output.
Principles
Swipe through. The long list lives in the proverbs repo.
A deployed MVP is worth two prototyped.Principle 1 of 5
Dance like nobody is watching, code like everybody is.Principle 2 of 5
Today's fashion is tomorrow's legacy.Principle 3 of 5
Debugging becomes easier if you first admit that you are the problem.Principle 4 of 5

Beyond code
What I work with now
The stack changes. The throughline doesn't. I'm usually working where backend systems, product delivery, and AI workflows collide.
AI & LLM Systems
Measuring model output, routing it across providers, and trusting none of it by default.
Languages
Python on the backend, TypeScript for everything else, SQL wherever the data lives.
Platforms & Tools
Async services on Kubernetes, databases picked per job, front ends in React or Svelte.
Leadership
Setting technical direction and standards, then reviewing what ships against them.
