About

I am Pier-Jean Malandrino, CTO & Head of Architecture at SCUB, a French IT services company. I also serve as AI Ambassador for the French Ministry of Economy (“Osez l’IA”).

I design production AI systems, contribute to open-source tooling, and write about the intersection of software architecture and AI-assisted development.

My work focuses on helping engineering teams adopt AI responsibly — not by chasing the latest prompt tricks, but by building the architectural discipline that makes AI-generated code survivable in production.

What I do

• Technological strategy & architecture — designing scalable, maintainable systems for complex business domains
• AI-assisted development — integrating LLMs into real engineering workflows with proper governance
• Engineering leadership — driving R&D projects and building high-performing technical teams
• Open source — contributing to tools like Docling Studio, a visual inspection layer for document parsing pipelines built on IBM’s Docling ecosystem

Writing

I write about architecture, AI coding practices, and engineering leadership on Medium / Level Up Coding and on this blog.
