What I bring to you:

Design and deployment of Machine Learning models in production (credit scoring, fraud detection, recommendation systems)
State-of-the-art LLM architectures: fine-tuning (LoRA), RAG, Graph RAG, and multi-agent systems (Agentic AI)
Model Explainability (XAI) to meet European AI Act requirements (SHAP, Integrated Gradients)
End-to-end MLOps pipelines: CI/CD, drift monitoring, model versioning (MLflow, DVC, Docker, Kubernetes)
Data Engineering & Big Data: ETL pipelines, distributed architectures (Spark, HDFS), decision-making dashboards
My references:

ML Engineer at CIH Bank: Industrialized credit scoring and fraud detection in production
Covéa project (Télécom Paris): Legal explainability engine based on autonomous agents and LLMs for insurance
Data Engineer at the Ministry of Higher Education (3 years): National decision-making architecture and statistical modeling
Freelance Data Scientist Consultant: Agro-climatic modeling and satellite image analysis
Big Data Infrastructure: 5-node cluster, distributed processing of 16 GB / 71M rows
Technical Stack: Python, PyTorch, Transformers, LangChain, LangGraph, Scikit-learn, XGBoost, Docker, Kubernetes, MLflow, Airflow, Spark, SQL, Neo4j, FastAPI

    October 2023 - August 2025 (1 year and 10 months)
    Casablanca, Morocco
    As part of my mission at CIH Bank, I designed and deployed a comprehensive credit scoring and fraud detection system in production:

    Credit Scoring: Built a banking scorecard for credit granting (Weight of Evidence, Information Value, Lasso Logistic Regression) by maximizing the Gini coefficient.
    Fraud Detection: Benchmarked several algorithms (Logit, Random Forest, XGBoost) and implemented resampling strategies (SMOTE, Undersampling) to handle the significant imbalance between legitimate and fraudulent transactions.
    MLOps & Industrialization: Deployed models via CI/CD pipelines, with automated data drift monitoring to ensure continuous production performance.
    Stack: Python, Scikit-learn, XGBoost, MLflow, Docker, CI/CD

    Impact: Operational system in production, capable of detecting suspicious transactions in real-time while maintaining a controlled false positive rate.
