I build reliable software and applied AI systems, with a focus on Computer Vision, NLP, and MLOps.

I earned a B.Sc. in Software Engineering at the University of Abomey-Calavi (First Class Honours) and have worked on production backends and ML pipelines, including LLM-based information extraction for healthcare.

Research interests: reinforcement learning, embedded machine learning, multi-objective optimization, green technology solutions, and AI reasoning for robotics.

Open to research collaborations, internships, and engineering opportunities. Also open to M.Sc. or Ph.D. opportunities (including institutions that accept a 3-year B.Sc.).

About

I'm a software engineer and AI/ML developer passionate about leveraging technology for social impact. With a B.Sc. in Software Engineering from University of Abomey-Calavi (First Class Honours), I focus on building intelligent systems that solve real-world problems.

My journey started at EEIA 2021 summer school where I discovered the power of AI to transform lives. Since then, I've competed in national AI challenges, built production ML systems, and contributed to open-source projects. My current interests lie at the intersection of reinforcement learning, computer vision, and sustainable technology solutions.

As an aspiring researcher, I'm driven by curiosity to explore AI reasoning for robotics and multi-objective optimization, with a commitment to making technology accessible across Africa.
