I am an AI Research Engineer at Orange Innovation with a PhD in Computer Science from IMT Atlantique.

My work focuses on large language models, speech technologies, and AI systems for African languages, with a strong interest in digital inclusion and real-world impact. I am especially interested in building tools and research that help languages like Wolof thrive in the AI era.

• Speech technologies, including ASR and TTS
• Large Language Models for low-resource and multilingual settings
• Natural Language Processing for African languages
• Wolof language technologies

• claude-code-token-optimization - Practical strategies to reduce token usage while keeping strong model performance and code quality.
• claude-code-best-practice-playbook - A structured playbook for reliable prompting and engineering workflows with coding assistants.
• wolof-culture-chatbot - A conversational project focused on Wolof language and cultural knowledge access.
• Fondations-DeepLearning-PSW - Educational deep learning materials to support students and practitioners.
