Atoui Abderahman Yakoub

AI / ML & Backend Engineer

I'm an AI & Data Science engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience across the full stack — from scalable Django APIs in production to deep-learning models for real-world problems. I care about clean, maintainable systems and about putting models where they actually create value.

Let's talk

Have a problem worth solving?

Whether it's a backend that needs to scale or a model that needs to ship, I'd be glad to hear about it. I'm open to work & collaboration.
