I work on AI products, engineering tools, and the systems around them.
I’m Arthur. I lead the AI Acceleration Team at DxO Labs and I’m co-founder and CTO of DailySurf.
I am curious about how AI will change the way we work, and how more people can benefit from it. I began my PhD in late 2022, shortly before ChatGPT was released. Since then, I have kept exploring what applied AI can do through research, internal tools, products, and a mobile app. What interests me most is the point where an idea has to become a system someone can use.
At DxO, my team and I build AI features and internal tools, evaluate them, and adapt engineering workflows around them. We redesign parts of the workflow so that people and AI agents can work through the same systems. I am particularly interested in AI as a new interface for software: a person expresses an intention, while an agent works through explicit tools and leaves the result editable. Silver AI is where our team is exploring that idea for photography.
Outside DxO, I co-founded DailySurf, where I work as CTO and lead product engineering. DailySurf is a mobile app for surfers to record their sessions and follow their progress over time.
Previously: mathematics and machine learning at ENS Paris-Saclay, followed by remote-sensing work at Kayrros, CNRS, and Inria. I recently wrote up part of that research as a France-wide comparison of AlphaEarth embeddings and hand-built satellite features.

Drawing on public accounts from teams at OpenAI and Anthropic, I set up a Linear-based workflow in my team. It connects human decisions, bounded agent work, pr-preflight, CI, and review. I now advise other R&D teams as they adapt it.
Outside DxO, I co-founded DailySurf and serve as CTO. I lead product engineering and have built most of the app, which helps surfers record sessions, remember conditions, and follow their progress.

AI made the app faster to build. It did not make finding the right product easier.
