Andre Kanmegne

AI Platform & Full-Stack Engineer

Paris, France

I build AI-powered products end-to-end — and operate the cloud-native platform they run on. From a business requirement to secure, observable software in production.

My flagship product is Retrieva — a live DORA-compliance platform (Next.js · RAG · PostgreSQL) — running on a production Kubernetes platform that simulates a full B2B insurance IS. Explore the case studies below.

Selected Engineering Work

Systems I've designed, built and operated across platform engineering, AI, and enterprise software.

Engineering Capabilities

Six domains I work across — the projects above are the proof, not this list.

Platform & Cloud Engineering

Building and operating hybrid platforms — from bare-metal Kubernetes to AWS and Microsoft Azure public cloud, with networking, storage, and infrastructure as code.

Kubernetes
k3s
AWS
Microsoft Azure
Public & Hybrid Cloud
Helm
Kustomize
Docker
Cilium eBPF
Longhorn
MetalLB

DevOps & GitOps

Automated, git-driven delivery — everything declared in Git, continuously promoted and reconciled; off-the-shelf Helm apps taken to governed, SSO'd, backed-up services.

ArgoCD
Kargo
Helm
GitHub Actions
Argo Rollouts
Terraform / OpenTofu
Ansible
MAAS
CI/CD

AI Engineering & LLMOps

Taking LLM systems beyond prototypes into observable, governed applications — and building the engineering harness (context, memory, guardrails, verification) that makes AI agents reliable enough to operate on a live information system.

RAG
Agents
Agentic Harness
Guardrails
LangChain
LangGraph

Observability & SRE

Knowing what production is doing — metrics, logs, traces, alerts, SLIs and SLOs.

My Journey

Work Experience

IT Automation & Applications Engineer (Apprentice)

Sep 2024 - Present
HDI Global SE France, Paris

Apprentice who shipped 3 production automations and brought application-deployment autonomy to the France team — spanning automation, solution architecture, ITSM/IAM and cloud migration.

  • Developer Deployment Autonomy (France): Took ownership of the German HQ deployment platform and established that capability for the France team — letting French developers build and deploy their own solutions with minimal dependency on central engineering.
  • Claims-Invoice Automation (−70%): Python pipeline that ingests, validates and processes claims-invoice batches, with data-quality rules catching inconsistencies before downstream finance systems — cut the cycle ~70% and removed recurring manual QC for the Finance team (approach extended to other workflows).
  • Legacy Data Reconciliation: Single-file, repeatable pipeline replacing the manual re-keying of fixed-width mainframe coinsurance extracts (multiple record types, legacy encoding, French locale) — applies the coinsurance/commission/tax logic and produces an audit-ready Excel accounting/claims workbook matching the Finance template.
  • Claims-Email Archival Automation (production, 24/7): Python automation replacing the manual drag-and-drop of Outlook emails into the correct claim dossier in the electronic archive (GED): claim-number detection, resolution against a ~36k-entry reference table (hot-reloaded), de-duplication, document import, then confirmation or quarantine with a full audit trail — runs unattended on a Windows VM (Task Scheduler, offline/air-gapped, self-healing) with a tracking dashboard.
  • Solution Architecture & AI Transformation: As architect of a custom solution, ran a Software/Solution Evaluation Process (SEP: build-vs-buy, technology/vendor comparison against defined criteria) and scoped an AI-integration prototype for the ITSM platform to improve support and knowledge management; coordinated IT across France and Germany and produced documentation.
  • Business Applications & ITSM: Administered and supported 8+ critical enterprise applications (Claims, Underwriting, Finance, HR); operated two-tier ITSM — GLPI (French front-line) and ServiceNow (group escalation) — and contributed to their evolution.
  • IT Support & IAM: N1/N2 support for several hundred French users (GLPI) with N3/N4 escalation (ServiceNow); managed business roles and access (IAM) and full onboarding/offboarding, coordinating with HR and the central German teams.
  • Cloud & Modern Workplace: Contributed to the modern-workplace/cloud programme (Windows 365, Intune) — testing, validation, user adoption — and supported the lift-and-shift migration of on-premises VMs to Azure IaaS (Azure Migrate) and applications to Azure.

Software Engineer Intern

Jul 2024 – Aug 2024
FedHub, Remote
  • ETL Pipelines: Built data scraping and extraction pipelines (Python, BeautifulSoup) to automate business intelligence gathering, saving several hours of manual work per week.
  • Frontend Refactor: Refactored UI across a hybrid stack (React, TypeScript, Laravel) and applied rendering and asset optimizations to improve Core Web Vitals scores.
