Recently expanded my scope to Angular frontend development. With 7+ years of experience, I deliver robust and scalable solutions for mission-critical enterprise systems.
April 2019 - June 2022 PhD in Software Evolution at RMoD/INRIA & Orisha (formerly SA-CIM)
CIFRE industry-sponsored PhD developing tools to modernize PowerBuilder legacy system (2M+ LOC): built static analysis engine, tickets analytics dashboard, automated linter for code quality, and delivered SVN training. Company's broader modernization efforts (including my tools) resulted in 43% productivity increase and 31% rework reduction.
October 2018 - April 2019 R&D Engineer at Inria
Working, as part of the RMoD team, on software analysis.
March 2018 - Augest 2018 C++ Software Developer Internship at INRAE (UMR MoSAR)
6-month internship developing a dairy cow metabolism simulator in C++. Translated mathematical models into object-oriented code using ODEs and numerical solvers (Runge-Kutta, Adams-Bashforth). Optimized simulation performance through numerical methods benchmarking, achieving 15% execution time reduction while maintaining numerical precision (ε = 10⁻⁴).
July 2017 - September 2017 Internship at Educanet Tunisia
During this internship at Educanet Tunisia, I was in charge of developing a java web Spring application to notify defaults in a wiring factory.
September 2016 - September 2018 Master of Science inSPI(Intelligent Pervasive Systems)
University of Sousse, Tunisia. Specialized in software engineering, machine learning, and high-performance computing. Developed expertise in algorithm optimization through parallel computing, distributed systems architecture, and applying ML algorithms to real-world problem modeling.
Febuary 2016 - April 2016 Internship at Gabès Municipality
Joinning the IT team of the Municipality, I developed a java web JSF-Primefaces application to manage debts of the Municipality.
