Speaking

I speak on AI Coding and Agentic Engineering: how teams build agentic factories (pipelines of AI agents that reverse-engineer, write, test and validate production code) and what happens when 100% of the code on a project is written by AI.

Everything on this page is meant to be copied and pasted by conference organisers: bio, photo, talk titles and abstracts. I speak in French and English, at conferences, meetups, internal company events and webinars.

Quentin Pleplé is CTO AI Modernisation at Theodo, where he builds agentic factories: pipelines of AI agents that reverse-engineer, write, test and validate production code. On his projects, 100% of the code is now written by AI.

With 15 years in software engineering and AI, he was working on natural language processing long before the current wave of generative AI. He co-founded Short Edition and served as its CTO for 14 years, building and scaling the platform behind the Short Story Dispenser, now deployed internationally, and was later Lead Generative AI Architect at Reverso.

He applies agentic engineering to legacy modernisation, helping teams rewrite business-critical systems 3x faster than a manual rewrite, for clients such as Pernod Ricard. He studied at École Polytechnique (France) and UC San Diego (California).

Quentin Pleplé est CTO AI Modernisation chez Theodo, où il construit des usines agentiques : des pipelines d'agents IA qui rétro-conçoivent, écrivent, testent et valident du code de production. Sur ses projets, 100 % du code est aujourd'hui écrit par l'IA. Polytechnicien, ancien cofondateur et CTO de Short Édition pendant 14 ans, il est certifié Claude Certified Architect (Anthropic) et Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.

Quentin Pleplé est CTO AI Modernisation chez Theodo. Il y construit des usines agentiques : des pipelines d'agents IA spécialisés qui rétro-conçoivent, écrivent, testent et valident du code de production. Sur ses projets, plus une ligne de code n'est écrite à la main.

Avant Theodo, il a passé 14 ans comme cofondateur et CTO de Short Édition, où il a conçu et fait passer à l'échelle la plateforme derrière le Distributeur d'Histoires Courtes, aujourd'hui déployé à l'international. Il a ensuite été Lead Generative AI Architect chez Reverso. Il travaille sur le traitement du langage naturel depuis bien avant la vague de l'IA générative (thèse de master sur le topic modeling à UC San Diego, 2013).

Polytechnicien, certifié Claude Certified Architect (Anthropic) et Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, il intervient régulièrement sur l'AI Coding et l'agentic engineering auprès de décideurs techniques.
