Back to original languageAbout Houd
Software engineer specializing in AI systems and data. For 14 years, I've been independently building backend solutions, data pipelines, and cloud architectures for international clients.
My preferred areas include: Python/JS/PHP/JAVA/C#/C/C++/Scala, cloud deployment (GCP, AWS, Azure), high-performance API design, large-scale data processing, and integrating AI components (LLMs, computer vision) into existing products.
Alongside my freelance work, I conduct independent research on reasoning stability in LLMs and extreme compression of vision models (FP32 to 1-bit quantization).
I'm looking for projects where architectural quality, the impact of technical decisions, and rigorous production deployment make a difference.
