Welcome đź‘‹
I am currently Generative AI Architect at Reverso.
Before that, I worked 14 years at Short Edition as co-founder and CTO. And before that, I studied at Polytechnique (France) and UCSD (California).
I am excited about Generative AI, web technologies, cloud infrastructure, business intelligence, but also manufacturing, supply chain, and... accounting!
Here is my resume (fr) and you can contact me at quentin.pleple@gmail.com.
