Data Science Engineering student at ESSAI (Tunis) · I learn by building, from statistical modeling to LLM applications
- Third-year Data Science Engineering student at ESSAI (École Supérieure de la Statistique et de l'Analyse de l'Information), University of Carthage, Tunisia (2024–2027)
- Currently working on an AI medical chatbot (LLMs + RAG) and on financial sentiment analysis with cross-lingual transfer
- Learning path: RAG → LangChain → LangGraph → agent evaluation → cloud deployment (Azure)
- Previously: Data Science Intern at Amadeus (forecasting + LLM agent) and intern at the Central Bank of Tunisia (risk prediction)
- Looking for a final-year engineering internship (PFE) in ML / AI, starting February 2027
- Arabic (native) · English (fluent) · French (fluent) · Spanish (basic)

Financial sentiment analysis & cross-lingual transfer · PyTorch · Hugging Face · MLflow
- Evaluating how well fine-tuned Transformers (DistilBERT, FinBERT) generalize for financial sentiment classification, compared against a TF-IDF + Logistic Regression baseline, with experiments tracked in MLflow.
- Studying zero-shot cross-lingual transfer to Tunisian and French financial texts, separating the effects of domain shift and language shift.
AI medical chatbot · LLMs · RAG · LangChain
- Question answering over medical documents with retrieval-augmented generation.
Data Science Intern, Amadeus · July – August 2026
Booking volume forecasting: benchmarked SARIMA, Holt-Winters and Prophet, built an agency-level LightGBM pipeline and a Power BI dashboard, and added an LLM agent (LangChain, LangGraph, RAG) to query forecasts in natural language.
Intern, Central Bank of Tunisia · August – September 2025
Money laundering risk prediction using data analysis and predictive modeling.
