My Journey

A progression, not a résumé — the turns that shaped the direction.

2020

Entrepreneurship — founding Célya Lashes

Founded an independent beauty services business and learned through real-world execution: client relationships, operations, pricing, positioning and brand building.

Entrepreneurship

2023

Engineering studies at ESIEE Paris

Began an engineering curriculum spanning mathematics, programming, electronics and computer science, progressively narrowing my interests toward data and intelligent systems.

Engineering

2025–2026

First engineering and AI projects

Worked across Python, algorithms, networking, embedded systems and introductory AI, gradually moving from isolated academic exercises toward more complete technical projects.

About

I'm an engineering student at ESIEE Paris, specializing in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. I'm particularly drawn to the part of engineering where a complex problem becomes something concrete: a system that can be built, tested, measured and improved.

My path has also been shaped by entrepreneurship. Building Célya Lashes alongside my studies taught me to work with real users, make decisions without perfect information and keep executing when there is no predefined roadmap.

Today, I'm building toward Machine Learning and AI Engineering. My focus is technical autonomy: learning to move from data and experimentation to robust software and eventually production-ready intelligent systems.

Let's connect

Open to ML/AI internships, technical collaborations and meaningful conversations.
