What I'm looking for

I seek roles building and deploying scalable AI/ML systems where I can apply research experience, backend engineering, and model deployment to create impactful, production-ready solutions while growing in a collaborative, learning-focused team.

I am a Machine Learning Engineer and Data Scientist with four years of practical experience building scalable backend systems, deploying AI models, and developing language and vision models for low-resource contexts. I combine strong programming skills in Python and backend frameworks with applied machine learning to deliver production-ready solutions.

I have led and contributed to projects including LLM development for Malagasy, a CNN-based agricultural evaluation model, topic modeling for real-time trend detection, and a speech-to-text system for a low-resource language. I have experience with Flask, Django, MySQL, MongoDB, DevOps deployment practices, and model monitoring on on-premises servers.

I am committed to continuous learning and collaboration, having represented Madagascar in international competitions and served as a research lead and ambassador for DeepLearning.AI. My work emphasizes practical impact, optimization, and delivering data-driven products that scale.
