What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote research or analytical role where my background in AI and data can contribute to education, digital transformation, or development work.

For my Master's thesis at Djilali Bounaama University, I applied ordinal regression and AraBERT to automated readability assessment of Arabic text using the BAREC corpus. I compared methods including CORAL and Soft-QWK losses with Quadratic Weighted Kappa as a shared evaluation metric.

I developed the Python pipeline for data preparation, model fine-tuning, and evaluation. My work focuses on machine learning and NLP, with an interest in AI's role in education, digital transformation, and development.

At Omar Ben Khattab Middle School, I teach Informatics and adapt lessons to help middle-school students understand computing concepts. I’m looking for a remote research or analytical role where my AI, data, and research background can be useful.
