Experience

Full-Stack Engineer & System Architect

SIKDS: Secure Institutional Knowledge & Distribution System (MESRS)
Feb 2026 - Present

I am part of the team building a centralized, ministry-scale platform that lets the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MESRS) securely distribute official documents to its subordinate institutions, enforce fine-grained access control, and search the institutional archive through AI-powered semantic search.

  • Authored the Software Requirements Specification (SRS) and co-designed the 4-layer system architecture (Web, Application, AI/ML, Data).
  • Integrated single sign-on (SSO) with the ministry identity provider, including automatic user provisioning and role-based access gating.
  • Managed the full document lifecycle: versioning, automatic archival, auto-generated reference numbers, tagging, and a Draft → Active → Archived state machine.

Internships

AI Engineering Intern

MESRS: Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research
rag.mesrs.dz
June 2026 - July 2026

Contributing to a national-scale AI assistant that guides Algerian baccalaureate students through the annual university enrollment process. The assistant launches publicly right after the baccalaureate results to help students navigate official admission information in natural language.

  • Led the team and owned the engineering setup end-to-end: CI/CD pipelines, automated deployment, and Dockerized environments for consistent local-to-production parity.
  • Designed and shipped a multi-agent RAG system grounded strictly in the ministry's official knowledge base (Arabic / French / English), using multilingual embeddings so a question in one language matches an answer in another.
  • Built a hybrid retrieval strategy: hand-curated bilingual article summaries answer first, with OCR'd passages from the official circulaire as a fallback tier, plus a measured confidence threshold that makes the assistant refuse rather than hallucinate when nothing relevant is found.
  • Implemented OCR-based document intelligence: the official circulaire's Arabic text wasn't machine-readable, so I built an OCR ingestion pipeline that converts it into clean, retrievable text with a vision model. I also built a BAC-transcript attachment pipeline (Ghostscript PDF→PNG + vision-model reading) that lets students upload official documents directly in chat.

Hackathons & Competitions

FORSAtic Hackathon

3rd Place / 64 Teams

Algérie Telecom

2025Team of 5

Built an AI system that classifies customer complaints from social media and call centers automatically, giving support teams a fast way to surface and prioritize urgent cases.

Challenges

Challenge 1: Social Media Comments Classification

Classify customer comments from social media into 9 distinct categories

Challenge 2: Call Center Tickets Classification

Classify customer support tickets from call centers into 6 distinct categories

Solution Highlights

  • Classified customer messages by their nature (complaint, outage report, request for assistance, acknowledgement) and by urgency level
  • Gave support teams a clear way to surface and prioritize critical complaints
  • Tracked satisfaction trends and recurring topics through visual dashboards updated in real time
