Sébastien Henry

AI Engineer

I help enterprises turn modern AI into production-ready tools that measurably improve how their data scientists work. I shape RAG and MCP platform roadmaps, build agentic workflows, evaluation harnesses, and observability systems to support them, and drive adoption across teams through documentation, workshops, and hands-on coaching. As an open-source MCP author and 2025 Tableau Ambassador, I’m comfortable serving as a trusted advisor across engineering, data science, and business teams, including when the honest answer is that AI isn’t the right tool for the job.

What Our Clients Say

Sébastien possesses a rare mix of advanced analytics capabilities, elite Tableau visualization skills, and a deeply collaborative mindset. His meticulous organization and proactive planning were the driving forces behind our seamless migration to Tableau Cloud. Srikanth Satakopan: Senior Business Intelligence Manager - Data Observability - Analytics Data Products at Indeed.com
I was continually impressed by both Sébastien's Tableau expertise and analytical talent. Beyond his technical skill, what stood out most was his willingness to help, mentor, and support others whenever needed. He brings a rare combination of attention to detail, leadership, and kindness that makes a real impact on both the work and the people around him. Kevin Chow: Senior Manager of Business Intelligence / Data Analytics at Indeed
I had the pleasure of working with Sébastien for six years at Indeed. His technical achievements routinely pushed the boundaries of what even Tableau's own teams thought was possible, elevating our analytics capabilities across the organization. Sébastien's rare combination of deep technical skill and inventive spirit made a profound impact on our team. Chadd McNicholas Senior Analytics Manager

Experience

  • Senior Analytics Engineer & AI Builder

    Indeed

    2018-2026

    Hardened AI prototypes into production systems teams depended on daily. Turned early-stage agent prototypes into enterprise systems with reusable architecture patterns, robust error handling, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), nightly regression gates with 85%+ test coverage, and governance frameworks that teams could manage without engineering support. Won Indeed’s AI Innovation Hackathon (2025).

    Built LLM conversational analytics and multi-agent pipelines, including a production system (Claude API + n8n) that compressed 40+ hours of manual analytics work to under 3 minutes across 4,794+ records with 91–92% coverage, driving a 30.8% operational improvement from baseline; designed RAG retrieval and guided analytics workflows blending traditional reporting with modern AI interaction.

    Authored an open-source Tableau MCP Server (Model Context Protocol | OAuth 2.1 | Tableau REST, JavaScript, and Python SDKs) that lets LLM agents query, refresh, and reason over enterprise BI content, creating a reusable AI platform capability for data teams. Available on GitHub.

    Engineered evaluation and observability for AI systems, including a five-axis LLM-as-judge evaluation harness (1.0 citation coverage) integrated with CI/CD via LangSmith, and LoRe, a self-healing LangGraph pipeline that detected and resolved 14 compliance drifts on its first production run. This made output trustworthiness a measurable, gated requirement rather than an assumption.

    Owned the Tableau Next and Pulse product roadmap for Indeed’s enterprise analytics organization, supporting thousands of internal users; translated data scientist and analyst needs into platform priorities, piloted new AI capabilities with the Localization team before broader rollout, and drove adoption through documentation, reusable deployment kits, and hands-on enablement. Named a 2025 Tableau Ambassador.

    Built analytics applications on a Snowflake production backend, including dbt semantic layers with governed metric definitions, multi-source integrations (Salesforce, Jira REST API, and Agiloft CLM), and a live production pipeline rebuilt with zero downtime.
