Elyes Manai

With over 5 years in AI, I’ve mentored 50+ individuals and advised 17+ startups on how to build, scale, and audit machine learning systems. I specialize in Explainable AI (XAI), model inspection, NLP, and LLMs — with a focus on making AI secure, trustworthy, and production-ready.

I’ve worked as a Google Developer Expert in Machine Learning, an AI mentor for Google for Startups Accelerator, and an instructor at NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Institute. Currently, I’m completing a Ph.D. in AI at Université Laval, where my research applies XAI to reduce cybersecurity risk.

Here’s how I can support you:
- Startup Mentorship – Validate ideas, assess feasibility, and shape AI-driven business models.
- Project Support – Debug ML systems, explore new directions, and deliver hands-on technical help.
- AI Strategy – Define and implement cutting-edge, tailored AI solutions for real-world needs.
- Learning Plans – Upskill with personalized roadmaps in ML, XAI, LLMs, or AI safety.
