Here are my work experiences and education.

Work Experience

AI Engineer

May 2022 - Aug 2023

Walaris

As a working student at Walaris, I was a member of the Artificial Intelligence team. I had the opportunity to develop, train, and deploy deep learning models for multi-object detection, tracking, and classification. To improve the accuracy of these models, I also implemented online data augmentation techniques (i.e image inpainting, domain translation). Finally, I designed and implemented a comparative benchmarking pipeline for model evaluation.

Software Engineer Intern

June 2021 - Sept 2021

Digitalia

Developed a full-stack B2C software bundle for the Moroccan royal holding 'Sotherma'. The software, built using Java, NodeJS and VueJS, focused on product management for the company. I also led and coordinated a team of developers, assessing daily progress in an agile environment.

Academic Tutor

Sept 2020 - June 2021

Al Akhawayn University - CLE

Provided students with academic support and taught different computer science and math courses. Tutored students in calculus, Object Oriented Programming, Languages and Compilers and programming languages like C and Python. I also led classroom lectures and discussions on data structures and algorithms.

Research Experience

Technical University of Munich

April 2023 - Sep 2023

AI in Medicine Lab

Supervised by Prof. Daniel Rückert and Dr. Georgios Kaissis

Investigated the trade-off between privacy and utility in models trained with differential privacy, focusing on the impact of gradient clipping and noise addition on various model architectures used in the medical domain.

Western Washington University

Feb 2020 - Aug 2020

Bioinformatics Lab

Supervised by Prof. Filip Jagodzinski

Investigated how amino acid mutations impact the stability of the COVID-19 proteome using computational methods. We found that specific mutations had a significant impact on the protein's structural stability. These findings provide important insights into how the virus works and how to develop treatments. Our paper ranked 2nd at the prestigious ACM-BCB conference.
