I am a passionate and results-driven Data Scientist and Machine Learning Engineer with a solid academic background and hands-on experience in AI, Data Science, and Cybersecurity. I am currently a **PhD Candidate at UPEC (LACL Lab)**, focusing on the formalization of reliable agentic AI.

Holding a Master's degree in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, I have developed expertise in designing and deploying AI-driven solutions, from deep learning and generative models to natural language processing (NLP) and reinforcement learning.

I am particularly interested in leveraging large language models (LLMs), transformers, and RAG for creating intelligent, scalable solutions. As a researcher in agent-based AI, I explore frameworks like Autogen and CrewAI and formal methods like **TLA+** to build adaptive, reliable agent systems and "vibe coding" environments.
