About Me

I’m a Master’s student in Data & AI at Institut Polytechnique de Paris, after completing a Mathematics & Computer Science bachelor’s degree at Université Paris Dauphine. My background is rooted in rigorous, pure-math training—structured reasoning, abstraction, analytical depth, and an optimization mindset—which I’ve since steered toward more applied work, eager to see how solid decision-making can create real-world impact.

AI naturally became the continuation of that path. Its ability to approximate optimal decisions in complex, uncertain environments is transformative, exploding the number of applications for numerical and truth-based sciences. Through continuous work on language models, I’ve seen firsthand how AI systems can be both broadly capable across sectors (e.g. ; )and hyper-specialized, delivering exceptional performance on narrow tasks when designed with intention (e.g. ; ).”

I approach AI as a system-level discipline: models are only one element alongside data quality, evaluation design, infrastructure, and compute/memory trade-offs. I enjoy owning these pipelines end-to-end, where the weakest link defines the quality of the whole. I’m results-driven—where “results” means taking the most rational, responsible decision by building high-performing solutions that treat ethics, privacy, and sustainability as engineering requirements, not afterthoughts.

Work Experience

Research Experience

Research Intern in Federated Learning

LAMSADE (UMR CNRS)

Paris, France

April 2025 - July 2025
  • Thourgouly explored client selection strategies in Federated Learning to optimize model convergence under FL constraints
  • Designed and evaluated a novel framework (Bliss) to accelerate time-to-accuracy in cross-device, centralized, synchronous Federated Learning. This framework lies on an intelligent client-selection technique that leverages past client performance and real time system signals, and a two-phase adaptive training that maximizes the amount of work done at the client level and trades computation for communication.
  • Thorough evaluation on FEMNIST and Google Speech Commands datasets demonstrated up to 3.1x speedup in time-to-accuracy compared to SOTA
  • Presented findings through comprehensive report and oral defense
  • Preparing a research paper for submission to a top-tier ML conference

Industrial Experience

Intern in Operations Management Department

Henner (Insurance Company)

Paris, France

June 2023 - July 2023
  • Developed and updated operational reports with advanced customer analytics to monitor profitability and strategic KPIs
  • Created queries and macros to normalize and integrate Datamart sources for accurate data extraction and business reporting

Additional Experience

Mathematics & Physics Tutor

November 2021 - Present

Provided weekly mathematics and physics lessons to 4 high school students, leading to noticeable progress in understanding and grades.
