PhD candidate in Information Technology with a research focus on machine learning applied to zero-day vulnerability detection, I am passionate about cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies. My academic and professional journey combines technical expertise, research, teaching, and leadership, with experience in network and systems administration, cybersecurity, web/mobile development, and data analysis.

My research work focuses on leveraging machine learning techniques to improve the detection and prediction of zero-day vulnerabilities, contributing to the development of smarter and more proactive cybersecurity solutions.

Throughout my career, I have worked as a university teaching assistant, professional trainer, and computer science tutor, delivering courses in networking, Linux, programming, cybersecurity, and digital technologies. I have also contributed to the development of several digital platforms and collaborative projects focused on innovation and real-world problem solving.

In parallel with my research activities, I am actively involved in entrepreneurship and student leadership as Campus Director of the Hult Prize at the University of Maroua, where I support students in innovation and the development of impactful social projects.

Curious, adaptable, and results-oriented, I am particularly interested in cybersecurity, machine learning, intelligent infrastructures, and AI-driven solutions designed to address modern technological challenges.
