Read moreAbout Luce - From human-operated to agent-first
Luce is the consulting practice of Abdelkader Bekhti — AI solution architect, 10+ years building data and AI infrastructure for multi-billion-dollar companies, including a four-agent analytics platform for a global luxury group and the eval framework that proved it was safe to put in front of users.
The thesis behind the practice: companies are moving from human-operated to agent-first. The winners won't be the ones with the best demos — they'll be the ones who solve trust first: agents whose accuracy is proven, whose actions are bounded, and whose decisions can be audited.
Every engagement is senior-only: designed, shipped, and hardened by the person you talked to.
- Years shipping to production
- 10+
- Events/day in production
- 1B+
- Engagements/year — senior-only, by design
- 3–4
How I work - Production-ready, not prototypes.
Most AI and data projects never reach production. I design and ship systems that survive contact with real users, real traffic, and real failure modes — and I measure success by what runs in production, not what demos well.
- Architecture-first. I start with the production architecture and add intelligence to it, not the other way around. Monitoring, fallbacks, and cost controls go in on day one.
- Senior-only delivery. Every engagement is led and executed by a senior architect who has shipped at billion-event scale — the person you talked to. No layered teams, no junior offloading.
- Outcomes over hours. I optimize for the metric that matters to your business — fraud caught, latency reduced, churn lowered — not for billable hours or model accuracy in isolation.
