Rahma Frikha is a technical project lead and research-backed software engineer with 10 years of experience building and leading teams on real-time and monitoring solutions. She holds a PhD in Computer Systems Engineering and has a strong track record in embedded critical real-time systems—contributing significant, open-source additions to CHEDDAR and OCARINA/POLYORB-HI that are widely cited by the community. Her work spans model-driven code generation (AADL/Behavior Annex), simulated RTOS development, and production monitoring stacks based on the Elastic Stack. At companies from research institutes to startups she has shifted between deep technical implementation and team leadership, most recently as Chef de Projet Technique at DECADE. Notably, her PhD prototype and postdoc contributions were integrated into tools used by practitioners, reflecting a rare blend of academic rigor and production impact. Based in Sfax, Tunisia, she combines evolutionary optimization and parallel-design expertise with hands-on engineering to solve complex, safety-critical performance trade-offs.
