About Amel

New to Malt. I help retail and e-commerce teams forecast demand, analyze their business, detect anomalies, and build the data infrastructure underneath.

I take end-to-end ownership of ML in production: from data ingestion through processing, model development and tuning, deployment, and stakeholder-facing dashboards.

Strong on statistics and MLOps. Core methods: Bayesian forecasting for short life-cycle and cold-start products, classical time-series for established catalogs, anomaly detection with causal explanation, and recommendation systems.

Stack: Python, PySpark, SQL, XGBoost, LightGBM, Bayesian methods. Azure (AI, Databricks, Delta Lake, Data Factory, App Service) and AWS (Glue, Lambda, S3, RDS, full serverless). Git and CI/CD pipelines.

    Machine Learning Engineer & Cloud Solution Architect
    November 2022 - Today (3 years and 8 months)
    Tunis, Tunisia
    Life‑Cycle Bayesian Forecasting Tool (inprogress, inproduction): – Designing and shipping a continuous Bayesian forecasting system for short life‑cycle products, where standard time‑series methods fall short due to limited history and rapid demand shifts. – Built the full stack end‑to‑end: Databricksjobs for ingestion, preprocessing, and Bayesian model training and inference; a Scala backend for orchestration and serving; and a user‑facing tool deployed on Azure App Service. – Forecasts refresh continuously as new sales data arrives, with posterior uncertainty surfaced to planners alongside point estimates. Mitigation System (anomaly detection + causal explanation + recommendation): – Built an end‑to‑end ML system to detect anomalous shrink, identify likely causes, forecast future losses, and recommend high‑ROI mitigation actions. – Enriched the model with external context by scraping demographic and crime data, and integrated environmental and operational factors. – Delivered an interactive dashboard with "what‑if" scenarios so customers could simulate the expected impact of prevention actions.
