Hello there ! My name is Ammar. I am a software engineer and currently a PhD student in computer science. My research interests are in the field of fog computing. My PhD research is about introducing fog computing into envrionmental observatories.

Experience

  • PhD FELLOW

    October 2023 - Present

    IRISA - Rennes, France

    My PhD research focuses on the introduction of fog computing technologies in environmental observatories. This research aims to bring more computing power closer to the data sources. Observatories are usually deployed in remote areas where there is limited access to the internet and electricity.

  • FULL STACK DEVELOPPER - WORK STUDY PROGRAM

    September 2022 - September 2023

    CGI - Cesson-Sévigné, France

    During my work study program at CGI, I was responsible for developing and maintaining a back office application for a client. I worked on the front-end of the application using Angular and on the back-end using Java Spring Boot. I also worked on pioneering a new microservices project for the company using Java Spring Boot and Quarkus.

  • FULL STACK DEVELOPPER - INTERNSHIP

    May 2022 - September 2022

    CGI - Cesson-Sévigné, France

    During my internship at CGI, I was responsible for developing a data processing tool for the finances of a client. I worked on the Azure Data Factory platform to create a pipeline that would extract, transform and load data from the client's database to a data lake. I also worked on the front-end of the tool using Microsoft PowerApps.
