A problem-solver on the path to research

I am a Computer Science and Engineering graduate with a deep passion for solving problems through code. Over the past decade, I have immersed myself in competitive programming, which has sharpened my ability to think critically and design efficient algorithms.

Alongside this, I have developed a strong interest in artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning and computer vision — areas where I have gained hands-on experience through academic research projects and self-driven learning. I enjoy exploring how data and intelligent systems can solve real-world problems, and I am always looking for opportunities to grow, collaborate and build meaningful technology.

Today I work as an Advanced ICT Officer at CNRS-UNHCR, where I teach students and apply technology in a humanitarian context — and I have written a free, university-level curriculum of 273 lectures on AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning.

Fields of interest

Computer Vision

Object detection, pedestrian and vehicle analysis, facial expression recognition, real-time vision with YOLO-family models.
