Khadija Tahri

Data Scientist & ML Engineer specializing in NLP, speech recognition, and deep learning, with a Master's in Data Science and 3+ years of hands-on experience delivering production-grade AI systems.

I help businesses design, build, and deploy machine learning solutions, including:
- Speech & NLP systems — automatic speech recognition (ASR), multilingual speech-to-text pipelines, text classification, and language model fine-tuning
- LLM & RAG applications — building retrieval-augmented generation pipelines and AI agents using LangChain and vector databases (ChromaDB)
- API & deployment — packaging ML models into production-ready services with FastAPI, containerized with Docker for scalable deployment
- Data pipelines & model evaluation — cleaning, structuring, and evaluating datasets to improve model performance and reliability
- End-to-end project delivery — from proof-of-concept to production, with clear communication throughout

I've built multilingual ASR platforms handling real-world data challenges (e.g., dataset migrations and format compatibility issues), and I bring a practical, results-oriented approach: I focus on shipping solutions that work reliably, not just in notebooks.

Fluent in Arabic (native), French, and English — comfortable working with international and multilingual teams and datasets.

Available for freelance/contract projects in ML engineering, NLP, and speech technology.
