    Paris, France
    I am assisting the founder of Élement 333 in designing and developing an Android application to aid VTC drivers in decision-making.
    My mission covers the entire product lifecycle, from architecture to field deployment.

    I work independently on the technical aspects.
    I collaborate directly with the founder on product and field issues.

    Project:
    - Élement 333: from-scratch development of an Android application allowing VTC drivers to evaluate the profitability of VTC rides in real-time, via a native OCR system, an adaptive scoring engine, and a personalized driver profile.

    My responsibilities:
    - Technical design and management of the application, from scoping to production.
    - Development of the application in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose.
    - Implementation of a real-time OCR system (MediaProjection + ML Kit) without user interaction.
    - Development of a native floating overlay (WindowManager) superimposed on the VTC interface.
    - Design of a multi-criteria scoring engine (€/km, approach, battery, time slot).
    - Development of an adaptive profile calculated from VTC data (5,000+ lines of CSV).
    - Implementation of a MVVM Clean Architecture.
    - Design of statistics and dashboard screens.

    I contributed to the following developments:
    - Delivery of a complete and functional application in real service conditions.
    - Automatic analysis of an Uber offer in less than a second after OCR detection.
    - Zero driver interaction required during driving.
    - Implementation of a scalable architecture, ready for future product evolutions.
    - Development of field testing protocols with a team of pilot drivers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the opportunity to work with Mehdi on the development of my app ÉLÉMENT 333 and I am very satisfied with his work. Mehdi is serious, attentive, and involved in the project. He quickly understood a complex need and transformed it into a functional application with a clear interface and a high-performance analysis engine. Throughout the development, he was available, responsive, and proactive. The exchanges were always professional and constructive. Today, the application is used in the field under real conditions, and the results are very encouraging. The project continues to evolve, but the technical foundations laid are solid and meet my expectations. I recommend Mehdi to anyone looking for a competent, serious developer invested in the success of their projects. Thank you again for your work and your involvement.
