About Zakaria

Fort de 8 ans d'expérience dans le domaine de la Data et plus spécifiquement du Machine Learning et de la GenAI, je me suis établi en tant qu'expert indépendant pour accompagner des entreprises de toute taille dans la transformation de leurs équipes, à l'aide de la Data, le ML et la GenAI.



Mes prestations sont sur-mesure et visent à couvrir tout le cycle de vie d'un projet IA/ML :

Partir d'un besoin métier à cadrer, afin de déterminer précisément sous quelle forme le ML et l'IA peuvent apporter une valeur ajoutée
Identifier les cas d'usage les plus stratégiques, en terme de ROI, de rapidité et de complexité de mise en œuvre
Co-construire avec les utilisateurs métiers un POC fonctionnel, basé sur la donnée réelle de l'entreprise et dont la valeur est démontrable
Déployer, avec l'aide des équipes pertinentes, la solution technique à l'échelle de l'entreprise, tout en accompagnant les équipes dans l'adoption de la solution
Mettre en place une stratégie de monitoring de la solution technique afin d'en garantir la fiabilité et la robustesse à travers le temps


Au fil des années, j'ai réalisé des projets dans la majorité des secteurs. Toutefois, j'ai développé une expertise métier plus fine dans le secteur du Retail et du Manufacturing, et une expérience Cloud plus riche dans un environnement AWS et Azure.
