As the CEO and Co-founder of OORB, I lead our innovative team in transforming the robotics industry through our AI-driven, open-source cloud robotics framework built on ROS. My role encompasses managing the team, overseeing public relations, and handling hardware-related tasks. I am dedicated to developing and enhancing our cloud-based robotics development platform, ensuring it is modular, scalable, and accessible for users of all skill levels. My focus is on driving growth, fostering a vibrant community, and advancing our mission to revolutionize robotics education and development globally.

Final-year engineering internship focused on the design and implementation of a real-time embedded platform for mmWave channel characterization. The work integrates FPGA-in-the-Loop (FIL) methodology, hardware acceleration using Xilinx FPGAs, and high-frequency signal processing for 5G/6G applications. Key responsibilities: • Developing a high-speed signal acquisition and processing chain • Implementing RF testbeds for channel modeling and estimation • Using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Vivado, and Vitis for hardware-software co-design • Collaborating within the INRS EMT research team under Prof. Tarek Djerafi The project is part of a broader research initiative exploring advanced communication systems and real-time reconfigurable architectures.

At Ubotica Technologies, I work as a full-time intern in the Edge MLOps division. My role involves developing and implementing machine learning models on edge devices, managing the end-to-end MLOps pipeline, and conducting research on innovative Edge AI technologies. I collaborate with cross-functional teams on various projects, optimize model performance, and maintain detailed documentation. This position allows me to leverage my skills in machine learning and embedded software development while contributing to cutting-edge solutions in Edge AI.

LABORATORY OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS, ENISO & L’ECOLE DE TECHNOLOGIE SUPERIEURE, QUEBEC Creating a digital-twin generic real-time simulator for power electronics converters implemented on FPGA as my bachelor’s graduation project, written and presented in English.

PhD candidate at INRS-EMT Montréal working on cutting-edge research in mmWave communications, real-time embedded systems, and FPGA-based hardware acceleration. My research bridges theory and practical implementation of next-generation wireless systems, focusing on channel estimation, adaptive signal processing, and communication system reconfigurability. The project is part of a collaborative initiative at INRS and integrates both academic and industry-facing outcomes.

Microelectronics is a subfield of electronics. As the name suggests, microelectronics relates to the study and manufacture of very small electronic designs and components. Usually, but not always, this means micrometre-scale or smaller. These devices are typically made from semiconductor materials
