02 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME

A little about me

I’m Yessine, an AI & Data Engineer who likes making complicated things useful.

My work sits between generative AI and data engineering: retrieval pipelines, local language models, SQL, and the systems that help people use them with confidence.

Before building AI systems, I worked in video editing and motion graphics. That creative background still shapes how I build: understand the audience, make the experience clear, and care about the details.

I’m now pursuing a professional master’s in Data Science and Engineering (SIDATA) at the University of Sfax, after a computer science degree and an Erasmus+ semester in Riga.

ONE WEEK. ONE RETAKE.

One week. A second chance.

I failed my first DP-700 attempt. A week later, I passed—and shared what helped me improve.

Photos from my Erasmus semester at Riga Technical University

The long way to Riga.

An interview, three weeks in Egypt for a visa, and a multi-stop flight. Then my first semester abroad.

Learning to take the mic.

At 14, speaking in public was unfamiliar. Competitions and volunteering helped me find my confidence.
