Naif Asswiel

A Master's student of Artificial Intelligence at Le Mans University, with a software engineering foundation and a researcher's appetite for models that hold up under scrutiny. I build deep learning systems end-to-end, from the data to the benchmark.

01 / About

A practitioner first.

Portrait of Naif Asswiel

I like models that work: models that generalize, ship, and survive a proper evaluation.

Before the Master's in AI at Le Mans, I finished a CS degree at Montpellier and spent a summer at LIUM reproducing the state of the art in audio-visual deepfake detection. The common thread is a preference for building from scratch: datasets, training loops, judges, interfaces. The parts that turn a paper into something usable.

I’m currently seeking a long-term role where I can bring value, collaborate effectively, and contribute to meaningful projects.

AI Automation Engineer — CGI

Agentic automation with Claude Code · SLM fine-tuning for COBOL
  • Fine-tuned an SLM with parameter-efficient techniques to generate business-oriented functional retrodocumentation from COBOL, evaluated via an automated LLM-as-judge benchmark.
  • Designed and built CGI-Factory-AI, a spec-driven AI software factory for Claude Code: four chained plugins (scoping → architecture → design → assembly) that take a project from workshop notes to implementation-ready specs.
  • Engineered human-gated orchestration with deterministic guardrails: validation scripts and full traceability ensure AI proposes, humans decide at every gate.
  • Automated the handoff to delivery: the factory converges three contracts into a GitHub Spec Kit repository and auto-creates Linear tickets per feature and phase.
  • Created Shapsha, a Claude Code plugin that runs the entire Python quality pipeline in one command: linting, two-pass security (bandit + LLM-native analysis), test generation, doc sync, conventional commits and PR.
  • Designed its parallel fan-out sub-agent architecture: per-file isolated agents cut pipeline time to the slowest file instead of the sum, with zero silent failures.
  • Built valido-bistro, an interactive workflow of five chained Claude Code skills that simulates a full restaurant ordering experience, from greeting to receipt.

Deep Learning Researcher — LIUM

Audio-visual deepfake detection
  • Applied and fine-tuned state-of-the-art models for audio-visual deepfake detection.
  • Reproduced state-of-the-art results through large-scale model training.
  • Leveraged temporal deepfake detection models to run experiments and assess their performance on benchmark datasets.

Making Hallucinations Useful — a reassessment of the Troublemaker Agent strategy in the age of generative AI.

A learning platform for medical students built on a RAG system that generates yes/no questions using verified knowledge and controlled inaccuracies to encourage critical thinking. I contributed the SLM behind the question-generation pipeline; presented at two conferences including an international venue.

My contribution
  • Designed and implemented the RAG pipeline; compared performance across several LLMs and SLMs.
  • Assessed the quality of question generation and information retrieval using targeted evaluation metrics.
