FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEER · AI SOLUTIONS

Pradel Jumelle.

From messy internal workflows to systems people rely on.

I embed with the team, find the highest-leverage problem, and ship the AI system that solves it. Seven years in software quality means I know where it breaks before it does.

HOW I WORK

Embedded, technical, and measured.

I build AI workflows and internal tooling for the people doing repetitive work, then stay close enough to know whether they actually use it. My default is to sit with the team first, prototype in days rather than weeks, and put something real in front of them before anyone writes a spec.

Agentic QA Workflow

01 / 03

An AI agent that drafts test cases and creates test runs, used daily by a QA team.

PROBLEM
Every ticket reaching QA needed test cases written by hand, almost entirely from information already sitting in the ticket. Three engineers were each losing hours a month to transcription.
APPROACH
An agent that picks up tickets as they enter QA status through the Jira MCP server, reads the full context, drafts test cases for a human to edit or approve, then creates the test run in TestRail through its REST API. Built inside Microsoft Copilot because that is the approved AI runtime, and a tool that needs a security exception does not get adopted.
OUTCOME
In daily production use by three QA engineers. Roughly six hours saved per person per month, now spent on exploratory testing instead of retyping.

Rebooked Orders

02 / 03

Support visibility for bookings that were cancelled and replaced.

PROBLEM
When an order is rebooked the original booking is cancelled and a new one created, but the customer still holds the original confirmation email. Agents had no visibility into the replacement and had to log into the provider platform mid-call to find it.
APPROACH
Interviewed the operations leaders running the workflow and found the cost was the lookup, not the missing data. Prototyped in days, iterated with them, then wrote the specification engineering built from. Search resolves superseded confirmation numbers, so the number the customer reads out still finds the order.
OUTCOME
Live in production. The provider platform lookup is gone from the call path. I validated it in QA and still maintain it.

Anvra

Independent product03 / 03

An AI-native platform that turns raw product signals into decisions, specs, and engineering tasks.

PROBLEM
Product teams collect feedback constantly and almost none of it turns into a decision. The signal exists; the path from signal to shipped work is manual and lossy.
APPROACH
A multi-agent pipeline where separate agents own separate stages, coordinated through a durable outbox rather than direct calls. Nothing an agent produces is saved automatically: it proposes, the proposal is validated against a schema, and only then is it written.
OUTCOME
Deployed and running, with an evaluation harness gating every release. Versioned prompt packs, golden datasets, rubric scoring, and calibrated LLM-as-judge graders. Nothing ships without clearing a locked baseline.

Invoice Exceptions

Projects01 / 01

An accounts payable pipeline for routine invoices and an evidence workspace for the exceptions.

PROBLEM
Roughly 80 percent of invoices match cleanly and take about two minutes each. The other 20 percent are exceptions, and they take the day because the evidence is scattered.
APPROACH
A pipeline extracts line items, matches them against purchase orders and goods receipts, and settles routine invoices. For exceptions, a workspace assembles the evidence and proposes a resolution before anyone opens the record.
OUTCOME
Demonstrates a written human boundary, deterministic extraction with model fallback, and an audit trail on every decision. A portfolio project rather than client work.
