AI and software engineer working on medical imaging, computer vision and production AI systems.

I finished a Master's in Intelligent Computer Systems Engineering at the University of Algiers 1 in June 2026. My thesis, PathOS, grades prostate biopsy whole-slide images with attention-based multiple-instance learning over frozen pathology-foundation-model features; it was graded 17.75/20. Since 2024 I have also worked as a software engineer: computer-vision and CRM/ERP work at White Bay, an internal TPE operations platform at Expertic, freelance platforms for nightbyte including Shohraty, and a multi-agent BI assistant during Djezzy's Data Science Immersion Program. I care most about the step between a model that works and a system people can rely on.
