What I'm looking for

I’m eager to apply my knowledge in AI engineering—especially fine-tuning and RAG systems—while continuing to learn and deliver impactful ML solutions. I want a role where I can build, test, and improve models with real stakeholders.

I am a junior generative AI engineer with a background in Python programming and databases. I am experienced with Hugging Face datasets and working with language models, fine-tuning, and RAG systems.

In my current role as a Generative AI|ML|Data Engineer Trainee at 10 ACADEMY, I streamline project execution through efficient workflows, helping reduce project turnaround times by 30% and improving productivity.

I develop and implement advanced machine learning algorithms, and I apply Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques to improve model effectiveness and support better decision-making for stakeholders.

Before AI engineering, I worked as an Electrical Engineer at JEME, where I designed tailored lighting systems and managed multiple projects with tight deadlines using AutoCAD—experience that strengthened my delivery mindset and cross-functional collaboration.
