What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for growth in AI and machine learning.

As a dedicated AI developer, I specialize in designing, training, and deploying deep learning models. My expertise lies in computer vision and natural language processing, complemented by a strong command of large language model (LLM) approaches. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems and enhance user experiences.

Currently, I am a researcher and developer at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, where I focus on preprocessing Java source code databases and implementing binary classification for predicting software faults. My work involves utilizing advanced LLMs and causal inference techniques to optimize and visualize results effectively.

In addition to my research, I have experience in mobile development, having created an Android application for agricultural parcel management. I hold a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, and I am committed to continuous learning and innovation in the field of artificial intelligence.
