  "about": "I am a Software Engineer with a strong focus on Cloud Computing, AI/ML, and Automation Engineering. I am currently completing my Master’s in Computer Science at EPITA, Paris, alongside my end-of-studies internship at SCOR Paris as an Automation Engineer. My work spans data pipeline automation, backend reliability, and end-to-end testing frameworks across large-scale environments.\n\nI bring experience in building automation frameworks on Databricks (PySpark, SQL), designing backend and frontend validation solutions with Node.js and Playwright, and deploying them using Docker and Jenkins CI/CD. Alongside this, I have over 14 months of prior full stack development experience with React and Java Spring Boot, creating scalable applications and APIs.\n\nMy passion lies at the intersection of AI/ML and Cloud:\n\t• Certified in AWS Developer Associate, Cloud Practitioner, and Generative AI (AWS Bedrock)\n\t• Currently pursuing IBM AI-Enabled certifications to deepen expertise in machine learning workflows, generative AI, and model deployment\n\t• Hands-on with Python ML libraries (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch basics), data preprocessing, and feature engineering\n\nI am particularly motivated by opportunities where I can apply my engineering expertise to build scalable, cloud-native solutions and integrate AI/ML capabilities that deliver real business value.\n\nOpen to full-time opportunities in Software Engineering, Cloud, or AI/ML, based in France or across Europe.",
