Multilingual AI & Custom LLMs
I help teams build AI for languages and markets where off-the-shelf models fail. By day, I lead GenAI engineering & LLM training at Blue Yonder. On my own time, I run Omneity Labs, researching multilingual NLP and low-resource languages.
I built the first LLM for Moroccan Darija. I've published peer-reviewed research on multilingual phonetics. I maintain OSS tools, datasets and models for 340+ languages.
