Summary
Nicolas Lecrique is an AI Engineering Manager based in France with 11 years of experience building production-ready ML systems and leading cross-functional teams. He combines deep quantitative training from École Polytechnique with hands-on software engineering, having progressed from trading systems and quantitative research to founding startups and shipping NLP and generative models. At BNP Paribas he led a 20-person tech team, pioneered on-premise generative AI infrastructure and delivered client-facing RAG/chatbot solutions; he now manages Tomorro’s AI team. His background spans product-driven research (recipe generators, recommenders, combinatorial meal-planning optimizations) and pragmatic engineering practices like CI/CD, testing and inner-source frameworks. Colleagues describe him as a leader who scales both models and teams, with a knack for turning research prototypes into reliable, secure deployments.
