Who I am ?
"A brief overview of my background, journey, and what drives me as an AI & embedded systems engineer."
Who I am ?
This is a living document — I update it as I grow and learn. Last updated: July 2026.
My Journey
I’m Nobel, a Master’s student in Connected Objects (AI & IoT) at the University of Poitiers. My path into engineering started with intensive preparatory classes in mathematics and physics in Benin, which gave me strong analytical foundations before I moved to France to specialize in connected systems and embedded intelligence.
What I Do
I work at the intersection of artificial intelligence and embedded hardware. My focus is on deploying machine learning models on constrained devices — microcontrollers, NPUs, and edge platforms — where every byte of memory and milliwatt of power counts.
Currently, I’m an AI Development Intern at STMicroelectronics in Crolles, working on clustering models for photomask dimensional error classification (Cad2Mask project). Before that, I interned at Nagarro where I built a multimodal generative AI pipeline for automated commercial proposal generation.
What Drives Me
I believe the most interesting AI doesn’t live in the cloud — it runs on the device in your pocket, on your wrist, or inside industrial machinery. Edge AI is where real-time constraints, power budgets, and algorithmic elegance meet. That’s where I want to build.
I’ll keep this updated as my journey evolves. Feel free to check my projects or CV for the technical details.
