Edouard CLAUDE

CTO • AI Deployment Strategist • Agent & harness engineer

English · Français

I help businesses turn AI from proof-of-concept into production reality.

15+ years shipping software, from PHP monoliths to autonomous agents. Over the last four years I moved my whole practice to AI-driven development: I design, verify and ship with agents, and I build the harnesses, MCP servers and tooling that make them reliable in real businesses.

What I do

• AI Strategy & Deployment: taking teams from experimentation to production-grade agents
• Harness engineering: context, memory, tools, budgets and verification around the model
• MCP integrations: connecting agents to the business tools companies actually use
• Hands-on engineering: Rust, Go, PostgreSQL, NATS, GraphQL

A few proofs

• snip: CLI proxy that cuts LLM token usage by 60–90 % for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot and Gemini (450+ ★)
• ironloop and longe: verification-first and self-improving agent harnesses
• 12+ MCP servers in production (Meta, LinkedIn, Redmine, business ERPs…), several of them remote, multi-tenant, OAuth 2.1
• Autonomous agents running daily for business owners: email, calendar, ERP, WhatsApp leads, briefings
