Ridha Chahed

I build production machine learning systems at scale. As a Senior Member of Technical Staff at Oracle in Zurich, I lead the deployment of Large Language Models and Generative AI in the MySQL cloud service used by enterprises on OCI and AWS.

I was the main developer of MySQL's Generative AI and Retrieval-Augmented Generation features, shipped MySQL HeatWave on AWS, and built in-database recommendation systems for HeatWave AutoML. I like to present my work and exchange with the community. I have spoken at the Applied Machine Learning Days and FOSDEM conferences.

Earlier I researched deep learning for cancer histology at NEC Labs America (Princeton) and global-health data at EPFL with IDDO and the University of Oxford, and I was a teaching assistant in the Machine Learning course. I hold an MS in Data Science (minor in Financial Engineering) and a BS in Communication Systems from EPFL.
