À propos de Josias
As a senior scientific R&D and software engineer, I bridge applied physics, mathematical modelling, and high-performance software to turn complex ideas into robust, production-grade systems. Over the past decade I have:
- Designed modular architectures for large-scale fare/ticketing engines and delivered mission-critical embedded software running across hundreds of field devices
- Built simulation and validation toolchains that accelerated integration and de-risked delivery
- Led quality transformations through advanced testing and CI, contributing to a 99% drop in production incidents
- Managed dozens of concurrent initiatives under Agile/Scrum
- Mentored cross-site teams to shared engineering standards
Domains & strengths: numerical optimisation and PDE-based modelling, 2D/3D & volumetric imaging, scientific computing, systems design, and performance tuning—applied across transport, healthcare imaging, and SaaS environments.
Communication & impact: former Master-level teaching assistant; author of extensive technical documentation; comfortable aligning research goals with operational constraints and executive priorities.

Expériences
- JOSIAS ELISEE E.I.Scientific Software ConsultantCENTRES DE RECHERCHEmars 2026 - Aujourd'hui (3 mois)Valence, FranceI accelerate scientific and engineering software by combining numerical modeling/simulation expertise with rigorous software engineering and pragmatic AI/ML know-how. I typically operate in short, tightly scoped missions: clarifying the problem, building a PoC, validating outputs, and upgrading the stack (performance, architecture, CI/CD, reproducibility, documentation).Core capabilities include 2D/3D simulation, performance optimization, LLM fine-tuning strategy and evaluation, and scientific quality auditing (methodology, assumptions, validation criteria, and result consistency). I also support teams with technical documentation and hands-on training to make solutions maintainable.
- Career breakCareer transitionEDUCATION & E-LEARNINGnovembre 2024 - février 2026 (1 an et 3 mois)Valence, FranceFull-time upskilling and hands-on prototyping across ML, LLMs, and agentic tooling targeting independent consulting- Designed and trained time-series prototype neural networks as part of an optimization re-training initiative (Python/NumPy/PyTorch on CUDA) with data-quality checks, imbalance handling, and validation workflows- Stood up local + hosted LLM stacks; experimented with quantization/decoding to balance latency, cost, and quality- Building a Python/LangChain application handling multilingual inputs beyond context size combining NLP and LLM technology
- ASTEKIngénieur Consultant SeniorTRANSPORTSjanvier 2021 - novembre 2024 (3 ans et 10 mois)Guilherand-Granges, FranceClient company: Conduent Business SolutionsEngaged in a multi-year mission to overhaul and innovate within the core ticketing and fare-engine domain for major public transport projects. My role evolved from pure architecture to hands-on development of mission-critical systems and technical leadership.- Architected and prototyped a scalable, multi-tenant C# fare-engine architecture designed for configurability and future growth- Delivered mission-critical embedded C++ software now in production across hundreds of validators on the Paris public transport network as part of a €1Bn+ infrastructure project- Spearheaded the creation of an innovative C++/CLI device simulator, which was championed by the client and adopted as the primary validation tool, significantly accelerating testing and integration phases- Mentored and provided technical leadership for developers across international teams (France, Australia), fostering best practices in complex project environments- Drove a culture of quality and knowledge sharing by authoring over 80% of the team's entire technical documentation from the ground up, creating a lasting asset for the organizationMy expertise and impact were recognized with an offer for a senior-level promotion, reflecting the value I delivered even amidst significant project challenges and pivots
