Hafedh Hichri is a software engineer and ML practitioner from Tunisia with five years of experience building production AI systems and developer tools. Currently contributing to Chonkie's ecosystem while driving ML work at mermory, he has shipped streaming VQA pipelines, optimized GPU usage to cut cloud costs 28%, and automated JSON data extraction to boost engagement. His background spans research internships (InstaDeep, Prama) and hands-on engineering (IQ.wiki), plus teaching programming and AI at 2SACADEMY, which sharpened his communication and mentorship skills. Comfortable across C++, Java, and Python, he blends research-grade model work with pragmatic implementation and cost-aware deployment. Notably, he pairs open-source contribution instincts with real-world impact—improving customer metrics and operational efficiency rather than only prototyping.
