Paris
Paris is the centre of gravity for European AI — Mistral and Hugging Face anchor a healthtech scaleup wave (Doctolib, Alan) that needs engineers fluent in both model serving and GDPR-as-product. Fauzul arrives with the rare French edge: an active 905-day streak and a public explainer channel, so the cultural ramp is already underway.

The numbers that make the Paris case before a single interview.
What lands in the first quarter
- →Own production LLM products end-to-end — model serving through UX — proven on NewScriber + TagRamp.
- →Treat GDPR + clinical compliance as a product surface, not paperwork (EKAGRA HIPAA playbook).
- →Operate in French from day one — most relocators cannot, and Paris employers feel the difference.
Where the demand is
Tap any sector to ask who's hiring and how Fauzul fits.
Production LLM products need engineers who own the full stack from model serving to UX. NewScriber + TagRamp evidence the agentic build practice.
GDPR + clinical compliance treated as product surface. Same playbook used at EKAGRA Health (HIPAA EHR).
B2B SaaS multi-tenancy + EU compliance. Mirrors the Jamahook GDPR/VAT Stripe flow shipped to 15K EU users.
Forward-deployed engineers for enterprise integrations. Fauzul has the 5-vertical pattern-matching this work demands.
