Chofly

Reads handwritten Arabic from a phone photo, fully offline. I built a synthetic data factory for 225k training images, then quantized the model to 28MB for on-device inference. Paper accepted at EDiS 2026.

About

I build things on the internet and try to understand how they break.

CS graduate from Algeria. Most of what I make starts because something annoyed me or looked impossible. If you're building something strange, I'm probably interested.
