Bastien Youssfi
Hi, bonjour, AI engineer
I’m an AI engineer in Paris, and I mostly build for , on problems where confidentiality and traceability matter as much as the result.
I design, build and ship AI products to production. Not demos — systems that hold up: document extraction, RAG, agents, anonymization.
Zero Data Retention, French hosting, and never a committing action without human approval. I also run my own SaaS under Updev Solutions.
I build out of passion, and out of optimism: done well, this technology makes people more capable. Watching a thing actually work is still the best part.
You can reach me by email, or see the rest on GitHub and LinkedIn.
What I build

- AgentsTools, guardrails, human approval

In short
- Bastien Youssfi is an AI engineer based in Paris, France.

- The systems he builds serve French companies with confidentiality constraints — law firms, architecture practices, industrial SMEs and the museum sector.
- They run under Zero Data Retention, on French hosting, and no binding action is taken without human validation.

What guides the work: reliability, traceability, sovereignty — and the sense that the best of it is still to be built.
