QRT Data Challenge — Market-Neutral Alpha Prediction — Python — (In progress) Designed a market neutral prediction pipeline on financial time series data: engineered temporal features from raw signals, applied regime based cross validation to prevent lookahead bias across market structure shifts, and built a boosting ensemble optimized for long/short strategy performance.
Spotify Top Hits — Unsupervised Learning Challenge — (IMT Atlantique) Built an unsupervised ML pipeline (PCA, K-Means) to cluster 2,300 tracks and uncover latent structure in musical feature space.
MLOps for Clinical Trials — (IMT Atlantique) End-to-end ML pipeline (MLflow, Airflow, Docker) for drug approval prediction, covering experiment tracking, orchestration, and reproducible deployment.

Applied ML, systems, and coursework projects spanning NLP, simulation, and embedded systems.

AI Assistant for Technical Knowledge Management — (Industry collaboration with Solent, private repo) — RAG-based knowledge management platform using local LLMs for documentation traceability and root cause analysis.
AI-Powered Sleep Quality Detector — Personal project using smartphone sensor data to predict sleep patterns.
Virtual Throwing & Haptic Feedback System — (IMT Atlantique) — VR motion tracking and feedback-loop research.
AI Strategy for PyRat Game — Python — (IMT Atlantique) — Heuristic and reactive agents for dynamic pathfinding.
Solar Irradiance Measurement & Sensor Design — (IMT Atlantique) — Arduino-based real-time solar radiation tracking.
Jewel Collection Simulation — Java — (Sorbonne Université) — Multi-agent OOP simulation.
