Working with US companies
I design AI agents, automation and business tools for US teams whose products or operations involve personal data of people in the European Union. European constraints are part of the scoping from day one: where the data lives, who can access it, and what the model is allowed to do.
The GDPR can apply to a company established outside the EU when it offers goods or services to people in the EU, or monitors their behavior there (GDPR, Article 3(2)). An AI feature that reads customer messages, documents or records is then a processing operation like any other: it needs a purpose, a legal basis, a known chain of processors and a retention rule.
The EU AI Act can also apply to providers and deployers established outside the Union when the output of an AI system is used in the EU (AI Act, Article 2). Whether and how it applies depends on the system and its use; that assessment belongs to your legal counsel. My role is to make the technical choices visible and documented, so they can be assessed.
Data flows, hosting location, model provider, access rights and logs are described up front, so your privacy and security teams can review them before anything is built.
When data must stay in the EU or inside your own environment, the system can rely on a provider hosted in Europe or on a model deployed on your infrastructure, rather than sending everything to a remote API.
What the agent can read, which actions it can take, what requires a human confirmation and when it must stop are defined and tested, not left to the model.
Evaluation on your own cases, references traced back to their sources and limits stated plainly. The goal is a system you can explain to a customer or an auditor.
Workshops by video call, written documentation and demonstrations on your own cases. Deliverables can be written in English.
I work from France, on Central European Time: Paris afternoons overlap with US East Coast mornings.
You work with me from the first audit to go-live and training, without hand-offs between intermediaries.
Each service has its own page: situations, deliverables, process and questions.
The right starting point if you need to decide on use cases and architecture.
The right starting point if your hosting constraint is already clear.
The right starting point if a document task ties up your teams.
The right starting point if your need involves actions across several tools.
The right starting point if your teams already use AI without shared guidelines, or are hesitant to start.
The right starting point if a spreadsheet, ill-fitting software or repeated data entry is slowing down an important process.
The right starting point if your teams spend a long time looking for information that already exists in your documents.
A product in production where documents are pseudonymized before any model call, hosted in the EU, with every legal reference checked against official sources.

Read the case study : Transcription & AI reportingNo. Compliance is assessed by your organization and its legal counsel, for a given system and a given use. I design and document the technical side (data flows, hosting, access, logs, model choices) so that this assessment rests on facts.
Yes, when your constraints allow it. The choice between a US API, a provider hosted in Europe and a local model depends on the data involved, your contracts and the performance you need. The trade-offs are written down during scoping.
No. The work happens remotely. What matters is whether your product or operations involve data of people in the European Union, and how much control you need over that data.
Describe your product or process, the data involved and what you want the AI to do. A first conversation helps choose between a scoping audit, a build or training.
Next step
A few lines on your context, the data involved and the outcome you are looking for are enough to start.
