Vision · Solar · Wildfire
ML engineer, 8 years teaching cameras to see. Now, at Rimward, they guard solar plants.
I'm F-G (short for François-Guillaume 🇫🇷). Food photos at Foodvisor, documents at Mindee, wildfire smoke at Pyronear. Then I started Rimward and went through YC. These days, AI agents do the typing. Say hello if you're building something hard.

The desk
Things I use, read and keep
The full stack, the library with a note on every title, and the bookmarks worth a second visit.
