What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-moving, remote team where I can take ML projects from data cleaning to training, evaluation, and deployment—especially with LLMs/RAG and practical interactive applications.

I’ve built end-to-end ML projects in Python and PyTorch, from data prep and training to evaluation and deployment in interactive apps. At VersifAI (remote, international team), I delivered anomaly-detection models in Python and packaged them into a working application, plus LLM agent prototypes using LangChain and retrieval-augmented generation.

For my thesis at Lebanese University, I designed a four-pipeline multimodal system, benchmarked CNN and transformer architectures, tuned with Optuna, and addressed a data leakage issue before deploying the model behind a Streamlit interface. I also worked as a DOT Lebanon data annotation intern, preparing and quality-checking large training datasets.
