Chouaieb NEMRI

I've worked with Zhi on complex NLP and Computer Vision Deep Learning Projects. Zhi has an ample background in applied mathematics, algorithmics and artificial intelligence. He was able to quench my curiosity whenever I would ask him a question. Beyond the technical discussions, Zhi is of a great mind and masters a broad range of topics. My adventure at Capgemini has ended, however, I maintain a very strong friendship with Zhi that would hopefully give birth to AI and Data projects and technical gems.
