About
Hi, I'm Atta. I'm based in Paris, France.
I build software at the intersection of low-level hardware constraints and high-level immersive environments. Currently completing my M2 in Electrical Engineering at IP Paris (specializing in VR/AR and Data/AI), my focus is on making machines understand the physical world around them.
My background spans low-level embedded software, applied machine learning, and real-time 3D graphics. Across these domains, I'm particularly interested in building software for resource-constrained, safety-critical, and real-time systems.
I am seeking a 6-month M2 internship (stage de fin d'études) in Paris starting February 2027. If you are building in SLAM, embedded AI, computer vision, or XR for robotics and wearables, I would love to connect.
When I'm not working, you'll find me at the cinema, learning piano, or dabbling in the occasional chess game.
