Omar El Hachimi / Forward Deployed Engineer for enterprise AI

Work with me

Forward Deployed Engineer for enterprise AI

I work the way a Forward Deployed Engineer works: inside the client's teams, in the client's environment, accountable for the result rather than for a slide. For large banks and insurers, that has meant taking generative AI from a pilot to hundreds of users. I am available as a freelance engineer or in a permanent FDE role, in Paris or remote across EMEA.

What a Forward Deployed Engineer does

The role comes from companies that sell complex software: an engineer sits with the customer, learns how the work is really done, and writes production code until the product works there.

With generative AI the role has spread fast, because a model alone changes nothing. Someone has to connect it to identity, data, budgets and the people who must approve it, then stay until teams actually use it.

How my missions match the role

  • Embedded with the client: I worked inside the engineering and IT teams of a bank and an insurer, not from the outside.
  • Production, not demos: the platform behind Claude Code serves 120+ engineers; the bank's GenAI platform serves 90 teams.
  • Security, finance and compliance on board early: company sign-in, EU data with zero retention, per-team budgets and an audit trail, built before the features.
  • Until it is adopted: onboarding, support, workshops, and a go/no-go report written for the sponsors.

What I bring to an FDE team

Eight years of production engineering before generative AI, in payments, telecom and DevOps, so the systems around the model are familiar ground: Kubernetes, AWS, CI/CD, observability.

I write the code myself, in Python and TypeScript, with infrastructure as code, and I explain it to the people who have to say yes.
