Top SchoolElias Benaissa is a tech lead and certified SAFe Advanced Scrum Master with nine years of experience blending applied NLP research and production software delivery at Orange and Inria. Trained in computational linguistics at Paris-Sorbonne, he has moved from research-grade annotation and parsing of noisy multilingual content to building and operating conversational AI (RASA, Dialogflow) and orchestration for IoT services. He now leads a cross-functional team of 25, coaching developers, UX and product while driving architecture decisions and continuously improving agile processes. Elias pairs hands-on development and mentorship—having tutored an apprentice and overseen developer skill growth—with a researcher's attention to data quality and annotation standards.
