Data & AI Engineer @ Oracle

Khalid Bartaouch

I design scalable data pipelines, process and analyse big data, and benchmark large language models. My background is rooted in data science — I previously led projects automating automotive systems evaluation with deep learning, turning complex driving video and CAN data into insights that changed how decisions were made.

01About

Engineer by trade, researcher by conviction.

I sit between production data systems and academic research — and I think the two make each other better.

Alongside engineering, I am a PhD candidate researching artificial intelligence, and I build educational platforms that make data science approachable in Darija for learners across Morocco.

Most of my work comes down to one question: what is this data actually telling us, and can we act on it? At Oracle that means pipelines and model benchmarks. In research it means asking whether our evaluation metrics measure what we think they measure. In teaching it means stripping a concept back until it fits in a two-minute reel — in Darija, so language never becomes the barrier to entry.

I'm always open to collaboration, research partnerships, and work that puts data to meaningful use.
