Based in Luxembourg — I help teams take AI from proof-of-concept to production.
About Me
🎤 Speaking at Voxxed Days Luxembourg
Hello! I'm Sitraka FORLER, a French Data & IT professional passionate about
building intelligent systems that create real-world impact. With expertise spanning Data Science,
Machine Learning, Cloud, and Cybersecurity, I help organizations unlock the value hidden in their
data.
Alongside my consulting career, I am the Co-Founder of LuxAIOps, a startup dedicated
to bringing intelligent IT Operations and automation to Luxembourg and Europe. I also take on
freelance projects — delivering tailored, production-ready solutions to clients.
How I can help
AI & LLMs in production — from POC to a monitored, secure service (RAG, NLP, forecasting).
Applied NLP (Hugging Face, Keras) to product descriptions.
Built predictive models and web traffic KPI dashboards.

Hack the Crisis France
Hackathon! 1 full week, non stop, during the Covid Crisis. Ideation,
Business Plan, Prototyping, Pitching and team working. 5th on 34 participating groups.
Engineered KPI Dashboards: Designed and deployed two interactive
TIBCO-Spotfire dashboards to monitor real-time production line performance indicators.
Scripted complex data processing logic using R, customized backend functionalities with
.NET, and structured the frontend user interface utilizing HTML.
Automated Reporting Pipelines: Developed an automated distribution
system to route critical service documents and KPIs directly to Industrial Engineers and
Plant Managers, streamlining communication and eliminating manual reporting overhead.
Predictive Maintenance Modeling: Spearheaded a data-driven project to
forecast production tool breakdowns. Leveraged Python and SQL to extract and analyze
historical machine data, identifying early indicators of equipment failure to optimize
production uptime.

Aix-Marseille School of Economics · Internship
The para-demographic productivity gap in the developing world: an international
comparison
During that internship I was under the supervision of Pr. Gilles Dufrenot at the
Aix-Marseille School of economics. We had to analyse the previous and actual point of
view of existing scientific papers, then we worked on the econometrics regressions and
interpretations.
Our paper investigates the heterogeneous productivity gaps by panel stochastic frontier
models to confirm a para demographic “burden” through inefficiencies in the labor
productivity in the developing countries. As a result, in terms of productivity,
Sub-Saharan Africa does not benefit from a demographic dividend.

Code & Skills

Python is the cornerstone of my data science and machine learning workflows. I specialize in building end-to-end ML pipelines, from data wrangling with pandas and NumPy to training predictive models. Using tools like Scikit-Learn and XGBoost, I focus on delivering models that bring actionable business value and optimize operations.
🧠 Deep Learning
Deep Learning allows me to solve complex perceptual problems such as NLP and Computer Vision. I leverage PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Hugging Face to develop, fine-tune, and deploy state-of-the-art neural networks. My recent experience includes deploying large language models (LLMs) into production environments and building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications.
☁️ Cloud Architecture
Building scalable and robust backend systems is critical for modern data solutions. I design and implement cloud-native architectures on AWS and Azure, employing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to ensure reproducible and secure deployments. This includes setting up CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration with Kubernetes, and adopting serverless architectures.
🗄️ SQL & NoSQL
A solid data layer is the foundation of any application. I have extensive experience modeling business requirements into both relational databases (like PostgreSQL and MySQL) and NoSQL datastores (like MongoDB and Cassandra). My expertise covers advanced querying, query optimization, dynamic indexing, and designing scalable data warehouses.
🔐 Cybersecurity
Security must be integrated from the ground up. I have hands-on experience using tools like Splunk and Venafi to implement proactive threat detection, manage certificates, and secure data in transit. My focus is on embedding security within the DevOps lifecycle (DevSecOps) to preempt vulnerabilities.
📈 FinTech & Quant
Applying mathematical and statistical methods to financial markets is a specialization of mine. I build models for risk assessment, algorithmic trading, and portfolio optimization. Leveraging real-time data ingestion and time-series analysis, I deliver insights that directly impact business strategy and financial outcomes.
