About
the speaker

I wear many hats, but my primary role is to architect cloud solutions with a focus on security and infrastructure. In this capacity, I've honed my competencies by defining technical pre-sales processes and engaging with customers to tailor cloud offerings that address their unique challenges and drive growth.

My approach is that of a trusted advisor, leveraging extensive experience in cloud services to build and develop offerings that not only meet client needs but also empower delivery teams to execute successfully. With fluency in English and French, I thrive in collaborative environments, inspiring and sharing insights with both colleagues and clients in the realm of cloud integration and innovation.

POPPING THE HOOD: The Grime Behind the Genius

Room: TBD
Duration: 40 min

Everyone is obsessed with the "shiny red car"—the AI Model. We chase parameters and context windows, fighting to get into the driver's seat. But nobody is asking the most dangerous question: "Is the track safe?" When you put a $15 million machine on a broken track, it doesn’t just stop—it crashes.

AI isn't magic; it's a high-maintenance machine. In this session, we pop the hood to reveal the grime behind the genius. We will leave the "driver obsession" behind and look at the infrastructure required to actually finish the race.

Key Takeaways:

The Infrastructure Gap: Why building 2025 AI on 2015 infrastructure is a guaranteed failure.
The Need for Speed: Why CPUs are just "city streets," GPUs are "highways," and why we need the frictionless "hyperloop" of TPUs to handle modern complexity.
The New Threat Vector: How attacks have shifted from data theft to prompt injection, and why you need "Model Armor" to protect the reasoning mind of your AI.

Stop just driving. Come learn how to build the track.
