Senior🎓
Top SchoolZié O is an Independent AI Researcher and full-stack developer with eight years of experience building scalable web applications and production-ready ML systems across North America and Morocco. He blends hands-on backend and frontend expertise (Laravel, Vue, React, Angular) with advanced speech and language modeling work—fine-tuning ASR, MT, TTS, and LLMs for low-resource West African languages and releasing a VQ-VAE model for Bambara. Comfortable moving projects from prototype to production, he optimizes inference with tools like vLLM, Triton and TensorRT and applies parameter-efficient tuning and quantization to reduce GPU costs. His cross-domain experience includes hybrid RAG integrations for regulated environments (improving answer correctness by 32.7%) and data-centric approaches using synthetic augmentation and semi-supervised learning. Based in Montreal with a Master’s in AI from Université Laval, he combines practical marketplace and real-time web development experience with a research-driven focus on language preservation and cultural sovereignty.
