01 · about

short version.

Portrait of Emmanuel Solom

I'm a field engineer with 8+ years deploying AI systems across regulated industries. I thrive where ambiguity lives, framing complex problems, building intelligent systems, and connecting technical teams with business needs. From CACIB's compliance scoring platform to TheFork's AI-driven lead generation, I've shipped solutions at the intersection of demanding constraints and innovation.

Beyond shipping products, I'm obsessed with learning systems. I've deep-dived into spaced repetition, cognitive load theory, and multi-agent AI orchestration, exploring how humans and AI can collaborate more effectively. Currently building NihongoLearn, an AI-powered platform that merges pedagogy with LLM systems design.

I also have the discipline, focus, and dedication needed in competitive boxing, I'm passionate about physics, synthesizers and music composition, chess and games about optimization, constantly exploring how to apply cross-domain thinking to problems.
