About
Who I Am
Computer Science engineering student 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-ends, and compete in datathons and hackathons.
AI / Machine Learning
Building data-driven systems end-to-end: exploration, modelling, 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, with a freelance track record — showcase sites, redesigns, and internal tools.
I also have a serious side track in HPC, networking, and DevOps: CUDA parallelization, datacenter design (spine-leaf, eBGP, ECMP), virtualization, and Linux systems.
