Why intelligent agents
I research how LLM-based agents can retain, reflect and adapt, and I build AI systems for real clients. Each side corrects the other: production shows where agent ideas break, and research gives structure to what I build.
Currently: PhD work on generative-AI methods for autonomous agents, AI platform engineering as a technical owner, and teaching computer science and AI courses at the universities of Naama and Saida. Languages: Arabic (native), English (fluent), French (conversational).
