About Goudja

With 9 years of experience in data science and machine learning, I have developed a comprehensive mastery of the data lifecycle: from collection to production deployment, monitoring, and model retraining.
My approach combines scientific rigor, technical expertise, and an understanding of business challenges, with a particular focus on industrialization: delivering solutions that are robust in production, auditable, and maintainable by teams.

💼 Types of missions

Machine Learning Development & Engineering

I support companies in designing, implementing, and industrializing AI solutions tailored to their needs.
  • Design, training, and deployment of models (ML, Deep Learning)
  • Reproducible data and training pipelines (Data Engineering, MLOps)
  • Production deployment, observability, and governance (experiment tracking, drift monitoring, retraining)
  • Performance optimization and integration into existing products
Support & Skill Development

I help teams gain autonomy on data and AI projects to ensure the sustainability and internal mastery of solutions.
  • Tailored training (ML, NLP, LLMs, Data Science, MLOps)
  • Practical workshops and technical mentoring
  • Skill transfer up to production deployment

🧠 Areas of Specialization

In-depth expertise in the main fields of data science and ML:
  • Classical ML & Deep Learning: regression, classification, clustering, neural networks
  • NLP & LLMs: language processing, text generation, RAG
  • Computer Vision: image detection and recognition
  • Statistics: analysis, estimation, hypothesis testing
  • MLOps & Industrialization: reproducible pipelines, experiment tracking, deployment, monitoring
  • Ecosystem: Python, Scikit-learn, XGBoost, TensorFlow, PyTorch, LangChain, SQL, FastAPI, MLflow, Prefect, DVC, Evidently, Docker

Experience

  • Institut National de la Statistique, des Etudes Economiques et Démographiques (INSEED)
    Senior Data Scientist / ML Engineer
    PUBLIC SECTOR
    September 2025 - Today (11 months)
    Ndjamena, Chad
    Design and industrialization of an end-to-end social targeting platform (PMT)

    *Context:improving the targeting of poor households from a social registry using survey data, with strong requirements for sovereignty, auditability, and deployment in a constrained environment.

    *Achievements:complete self-hosted MLOps architecture (FastAPI, MLflow, Prefect, Evidently, Prometheus/Grafana, Docker, DVC, PostgreSQL); reproducible data pipeline with survey weights and cluster validation; linear/ensemble/neural network benchmark evaluated on targeting metrics; stable variable selection (stability selection Lasso, permutation, SHAP) for short questionnaires; batch scoring, API, and offline artifact; SHAP explanation codes; governed retraining with human validation.

    *Training and transfer:design and delivery of a curriculum (targeting statistics, regularization and variable selection, SHAP interpretability, neural networks, MLOps production deployment) using notebooks and materials; engineering mentoring (Git/GitHub, code review, reproducibility); transferable guides ensuring team autonomy after the mission.

    *Measured impact:questionnaire reduced from 31 to 22 variables without performance loss; gradient boosting achieving 71% correct targeting of poor households in never-surveyed areas, 4.3 points higher (95% CI [3.3; 5.3], repeated cluster cross-validation) than the official regression on the same questionnaire; honest evaluation protocol also highlighting the optimism bias of the historical system.

    *Skills:ML on tabular data, MLOps, industrialization, observability and drift, interpretability, model governance, sensitive data, skill transfer.
