Samy A. Foudil

AI and Cloud Architect, Python engineer, former CTO and PhD in Neuroscience, I help clients design and deploy scalable, robust and intelligent technology systems. My expertise covers agentic AI, AWS serverless architecture, MLOps, document intelligence, modern DevOps practices and applied data science. I work end to end, from needs analysis to production deployment, integrating custom AI assistants, agentic workflows and cloud infrastructure designed for automation and scale.
