Hi, I'm Zakaria Boussaid, an electrical engineer with a strong focus on robotics, autonomous driving, and AI integration. I combine hands-on embedded systems experience with modern software development (C++, Python) to build robust automation, data processing, and decision-support solutions. Over the years I have led and contributed to projects spanning LLM integration, computer vision, and hardware interfaces, always aiming to turn complex research ideas into production-ready software. I enjoy bridging research and engineering teams, designing intuitive interfaces, and accelerating internal workflows through automation.
