About

Research, teaching
& AI engineering.

// profile

PhD in computer science from the University of Montpellier (2021–2025), specialising in deep learning, computer vision and sonar image processing.

I've collaborated with major industrial players — DGA, Thales, CNRS — turning complex problems into concrete, high-performing solutions.

Passionate about teaching and research, I enjoy sharing knowledge and exploring new technologies.
