About

Who I Am

Engineering student in computer science at ESI Algiers, working at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and modern web development. I build AI systems from data exploration to API deployment, ship production front-end interfaces, and compete in datathons and hackathons.

AI / Machine Learning

Building data-driven systems end to end: exploration, modeling, evaluation, and deployment as APIs. Strong interests in computer vision, NLP, recommender systems, adversarial ML, optimization, and edge/on-device inference.

Front-end & UI/UX

Designing and shipping production interfaces with React, Next.js, Angular, TypeScript, and Tailwind, backed by freelance experience across showcase sites, redesigns, and internal tools.

I also work across HPC, networking, and DevOps: CUDA parallelization, data center design (spine-leaf, eBGP, ECMP), virtualization, and Linux systems.
