Florian Assous
Business Systems Consultant & Senior Full-Stack / AI Engineer

I help companies understand complex operations, choose the right technical solutions, and turn them into secure, maintainable systems.

I work from business problem to production implementation. I can map workflows, identify bottlenecks and risks, structure unclear requirements, assess existing systems, and determine what should be improved, automated, integrated, purchased, or built.

My background combines more than six years of factory operations management with more than nine years of software development. This allows me to communicate with management, operational teams, and developers while keeping technical decisions aligned with real business priorities, constraints, and budgets.

When implementation is required, I work hands-on across full-stack development, applied AI, Odoo and ERP workflows, APIs, databases, automation, reporting, and secure production infrastructure.

I am the founder of Speak To Your Database, a live AI business data intelligence product that helps users ask questions over PostgreSQL, MySQL, and supported Odoo setups with explainable, SQL-verifiable answers.

Founder project: Speak To Your Database

Speak To Your Database is my main founder project: an AI business data intelligence assistant for databases and Odoo. It focuses on explainable answers, SQL verification, business reporting, and safer access to operational data.

Building it has given me hands-on experience across LLM applications, database-backed AI workflows, Odoo integration, admin tools, feedback loops, production deployment, and practical guardrails for business users.

Business & Technical Consulting

Process discovery, system audits, requirements structuring, solution selection, architecture, and phased implementation roadmaps.

AI Development

Custom AI apps, LLM-powered workflows, RAG/document assistants, structured outputs, AI copilots, and practical guardrails.

Odoo Engineering

Odoo API integrations, automation, reporting, dashboards, self-hosted Odoo support, and Odoo infrastructure/security reviews.

Business Data Intelligence

SQL reporting, PostgreSQL/MySQL workflows, dashboards, business alerts, database-backed tools, and automation connected to real operational data.

Business and technical work I can help with

Business systems consulting: process discovery, workflow mapping, bottleneck analysis, system audits, build-versus-buy decisions, technical solution selection, architecture, and implementation planning.
AI systems: LLM applications, AI copilots, RAG-style assistants, structured outputs, tool/function calling, evals, and guardrail-minded design.
Full-stack development: Node.js, JavaScript, APIs, database-backed tools, dashboards, automation interfaces, and production web applications.
Odoo and ERP systems: Odoo API work, integrations, automation, reporting, technical support, bridge integrations, and self-hosted Odoo environments.
Databases and reporting: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL workflows, reporting systems, data visibility, business dashboards, and operational analysis.
Automation: Make.com workflows, webhooks, REST APIs, forms, CRMs, email systems, browser automation, Apify, and custom business process automation.
Infrastructure: Linux VPS, Docker, Nginx, HTTPS, firewall review, SSH protection, malware investigation, backups, and Odoo production server protection.

I am available for selected consulting and freelance projects, from business process discovery and technical solution design through hands-on implementation. I also support agencies and small teams with AI systems, full-stack development, Odoo/API integrations, reporting and database tools, automation, and VPS/Odoo security reviews.

Business Systems & Technical Consulting

I help companies turn complex, fragmented, or poorly documented operations into clear, workable systems. My role can begin before a technical solution has been chosen: I first understand how the business operates, identify the real problems, and determine what should be improved, automated, integrated, or rebuilt.

Business process discovery and workflow mapping
Identification of bottlenecks, risks, duplicated work, and manual tasks
Audit of existing applications, integrations, databases, and automations
Build-versus-buy analysis and technology selection
Solution architecture and phased implementation roadmaps
Translation of business requirements into clear technical specifications
Communication between management, operational teams, and developers
Hands-on implementation across full-stack development, APIs, data, AI, automation, ERP, and infrastructure

This approach combines more than six years of operations management with more than nine years of software development. I can support a project from initial discovery and technical decision-making through architecture, implementation, deployment, and continuous improvement. Clients do not need to arrive with a complete technical specification: helping define the right solution is part of my work.

AI Development & Business Automation

I build practical AI systems that connect to real business tools, databases, documents, APIs, and workflows. My focus is not AI demos, but useful systems that help teams save time, reduce manual work, recover missed opportunities, and improve operational visibility.

Custom AI applications for internal business workflows
LLM-powered assistants connected to real company data
RAG-style document and knowledge assistants
Structured outputs, tool/function calling, and API-connected AI workflows
AI document processing for invoices, forms, contracts, and operational documents
AI copilots for reporting, follow-up, support, and business operations
Guardrail-minded design: human approval, logging, checks, and safer automation flows

This work builds on my full-stack and automation background: Node.js, JavaScript, APIs, SQL, dashboards, Make.com workflows, browser automation, and production web applications.

Odoo Engineering, APIs & ERP Workflows

I help businesses and agencies with Odoo-related technical work: integrations, automation, reporting, infrastructure review, and workflows that connect Odoo to the rest of the business stack.

Odoo API integrations and technical workflows
Odoo automation using APIs, webhooks, custom logic, and external services
Odoo reporting and database-backed operational dashboards
Self-hosted Odoo infrastructure review, HTTPS, Nginx, and VPS setup checks
Odoo upgrade planning support and custom module compatibility review
Odoo bridge and database integration experience from building Speak To Your Database
Technical overflow support for Odoo partners, agencies, and small teams

I have practical experience with Odoo business processes, Odoo environments, API integrations, databases, reporting needs, and the infrastructure concerns around running Odoo in production.

Business Data Intelligence, Reports & Databases

I build database-backed tools, reporting workflows, dashboards, and data intelligence systems that help teams understand what is happening inside their business.

SQL reporting with PostgreSQL and MySQL
Business dashboards connected to databases, APIs, and operational systems
Retool-style internal tools and database-backed admin interfaces
Custom database queries for operational reporting and decision support
Data cleaning, transformation, synchronization, and workflow automation
Business alerts, flags, and risk signals from operational data
Structured data extraction using APIs, Apify, browser automation, and custom scripts

I built Speak To Your Database, a live AI business data intelligence product designed to help users ask questions over PostgreSQL, MySQL, and supported Odoo setups with explainable, SQL-verifiable answers.

The project combines applied AI, SQL reporting, Odoo integration, business metadata, production deployment, admin tooling, feedback loops, and safer access patterns for business users.

VPS Security, Odoo Server Hardening & Production Infrastructure

I help secure Linux VPS environments used for Odoo, web applications, PostgreSQL, Docker services, APIs, automation tools, and business-critical systems.

Linux VPS security audits and practical hardening
Malware investigation, suspicious process review, and cleanup support
SSH hardening, firewall review, Fail2ban, and access protection
Docker exposure checks, open-port review, and service visibility checks
Nginx, HTTPS, reverse proxy, and production web app configuration review
Odoo production server security and deployment review
PostgreSQL access review, backup checks, and recovery readiness
Security roadmap with clear actions, priorities, and client-friendly reporting

This service is especially useful for small companies running Odoo, internal tools, APIs, or databases on their own VPS and needing a clear, practical security review instead of vague technical advice.
