Summary
Chakib Belgaid is an AI engineer and PhD researcher based in Lille with 11 years of experience blending software engineering, research, and product building. He has led AI teams in startups to design and deploy multimodal autonomous-agent MVPs, optimizing inference stacks with vLLM, CUDA and Llama.cpp for local GPU performance. His academic work at Inria centers on measuring and reducing energy consumption of data centers and programming languages, giving him rare expertise in sustainable, energy-aware software design. Chakib pairs hands-on systems skills (Python, CUDA, SQL) with product instincts from founding a retail tech startup and teaching distributed computing. He is known as a “green coder” who measures carbon footprints and tunes software for efficiency as much as accuracy. This combination of research-grade measurement and production-level AI deployment makes him particularly strong at shipping performant, low-carbon ML solutions.
