Work history

Freelance — AI & Software Engineering
COMANCI · Since August 2024

Freelance services in AI, automation, data processing and custom software development.

  • Designed Python-based automation and data-processing solutions.
  • Developed AI and computer-vision prototypes — including a presence-detection system distinguishing known users from new entrants (CNN, YOLO).
  • Built custom software tools based on client requirements.
  • Integrated databases, APIs and business processes.
  • Tested, documented and maintained developed solutions.
  • Worked directly with clients to define requirements and translate business needs into technical solutions.

Internship — AI & Ovarian Follicle Segmentation in 3D MRI
Siemens Healthineers · Feb 2024 – Aug 2024 (7 months) · Paris, France

Autonomous end-to-end R&D project: data preparation, model experimentation, evaluation, post-processing, visualization and result export.

  • Prepared and processed 3D MRI data: normalization, interpolation, resampling, filtering and data augmentation.
  • Evaluated 2D and 3D U-Net architectures before developing a YOLOv8-based instance-segmentation pipeline.
  • Trained and evaluated detection/segmentation models on MRI data from multiple patients.
  • ~90% precision and 86% recall achieved on segmentation masks and bounding boxes on the evaluation dataset.
  • Built post-processing methods to compute follicle dimensions, volume, location and count, with a rule for flagging potential cysts based on diameter.
  • Built a Python interface to visualize results and export CSV reports and annotated videos.
  • Collaborated with clinicians to define medical requirements and validate results.
  • Reduced analysis time from roughly 10 minutes manual to ~10 seconds automated.
