About Yakini

Doctoral engineer (Bac+8) specializing in generative AI, I have solid experience in artificial intelligence and natural language processing (NLP / LLM), acquired in research, industrial, and consulting contexts.

How I can help you

I work on technical projects where scalability and business impact are determining factors:
  • Python development (scripts, services)
  • AI & NLP Solutions (LLM, RAG, semantic search, classification, summarization, document generation)
  • Backend / API architecture design
  • AI POCs → production deployment

My added value

  • PhD Expertise: deep understanding of models and algorithmic challenges
  • Industrial Vision: maintainable, testable, and deployable solutions
  • Pragmatic Approach: focus on real impact, not unnecessary complexity
  • Clear Communication: ability to explain complex topics to non-technical teams

Project Types & Deliverables

  • Documented and tested NLP / AI pipelines
  • RAG architectures and semantic search engines
  • Functional POCs + production deployment/industrialization recommendations
  • Production-ready Python backend APIs
  • Technical audits and architecture notes
  • French

    Native or bilingual

  • English

    Fluent
