PROFILE
Romain Perennes
Romain Perennes contributed to the ThalesGroup/fred repository over six months, focusing on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows, agent evaluation, and document processing. He refactored the RAG core into a modular state-graph architecture using Python and Pydantic, improving maintainability and robustness. Romain developed automated testing frameworks, migrating from RAGAS to DeepEval for more accurate agent evaluation, and introduced unified testing bases with CI/CD integration. He enhanced document chunking with semantic splitting and PDF table annotation, optimized search strategies, and implemented cross-encoder reranking. His work emphasized backend development, API design, and documentation, resulting in scalable, testable, and maintainable solutions.

Nov 1, 2025November 2025 — ThalesGroup/fred: Delivered a major upgrade to the RAG evaluation workflow by migrating from the RAGAS framework to the DeepEval library. Updated evaluation scripts and documentation to reflect new metrics and structure, enabling more accurate, scalable testing of Retrieval-Augmented Generation agents and faster iteration. Implemented targeted code‑quality improvements and error-handling refinements to support robust integration. Business impact includes higher fidelity of agent performance assessments, shorter feedback loops, and a maintainable testing infrastructure that scales with future RAG enhancements. Technologies/skills demonstrated include Python, DeepEval integration, evaluation tooling, documentation, and CI-friendly scripting.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025: Delivered an automated testing framework for RAG agents (RAGAS) within the ThalesGroup/fred repo, enabling end-to-end evaluation of embedding models and agent configurations. Implemented embedding model setup, agent configuration, evaluation launch functions, and CLI argument parsing, accompanied by README documentation for the script. The work reduces manual testing time, increases regression coverage, and provides a CI-ready workflow for validating RAG agent behavior. The primary commit advancing this work is 94d6e14daf3feea4d7ca73d2a355d22accab5cb8 (Adding automated tests to evaluate rag agents #645).

Aug 1, 2025In 2025-08, delivered a major refactor and stability fixes for the ThalesGroup/fred RAG workflow, emphasizing robustness, modularity, and scalable architecture. Key outcomes: (1) Replaced monolithic RAG core with a state-graph architecture featuring dedicated nodes for document retrieval, grading, generation, and query rewriting; introduced Pydantic models for state/output to improve validation and maintainability. (2) Fixed Rico/RicoPro agent stability and naming mismatches, eliminating an infinite loop when no documents are found and ensuring correct agent identification across variants. These changes were implemented with commits ee9ea08f4a679052c9bb9ab34cf557fd222bdf9d, 0cafa5660b69b0a5f9015bc4ae1f4a04bc42c366, and adc1450dbbb35433cee3f996dde36868a0ad261d. (3) Result: a more reliable, extensible RAG pipeline, reduced troubleshooting time, and clearer ownership of components. Business value: higher uptime, better user experience, easier onboarding for future enhancements.
