What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote opportunities where I can apply Python, SQL, data analysis, and machine learning to real-world healthcare or financial datasets and build practical predictive solutions.

I founded Lunara AI Academy, where I create project-based bootcamps in Python, data analysis, data science, and machine learning while mentoring learners through hands-on technical projects.

I built an end-to-end credit card fraud detection pipeline using XGBoost, Optuna, SMOTE, MLflow, FastAPI, Docker, and Streamlit. Working with 284,807 transactions, I achieved 96.55% precision and a 0.9741 ROC-AUC.

I’ve also analyzed Algerian and French hospital datasets for COVID-19 outcome prediction, validating results with a medical doctor and building a Flask demonstration application.
