Rita Berrada

My Journey

I am a student in the Bachelor of Global Engineering at CentraleSupélec and McGill University, with a strong foundation in mathematics, data science, and software engineering.

I enjoy designing and building intelligent systems, turning ideas and data into practical tools. I love bringing ideas to life through projects and hackathons, where experimentation, iteration, and creativity meet real-world problem solving.

Through these experiences, I continuously explore how machine learning and AI systems can be used to build meaningful and impactful solutions.

Real problems. Real systems. Real impact.

CompensAI
Feb 2026 · Hackathon

CompensAI

Autonomous multi-agent system that monitors Gmail, detects compensation cases (flight delays, lost luggage, damaged parcels), evaluates eligibility under EU regulations, and automatically drafts and submits claims. Built with human-in-the-loop validation, browser automation (Playwright), and automated billing (Stripe). Stack: LLM reasoning (Claude), FastAPI backend, React dashboard, Supabase, Gmail API.

Autonomous Line-Following Robot
Nov 2025 · Robotics Bootcamp

Autonomous Line-Following Robot

Developed OOP control software for a Raspberry Pi–based mobile robot, implementing real-time line-following and trajectory tracking using sensor feedback and PID-based motion control. Integrated sensor inputs and motor drivers within a modular architecture to enable stable navigation and obstacle avoidance. Iteratively tuned control parameters to improve tracking accuracy and motion stability.

InsightFlow
Jul 2025 · Hackathon

InsightFlow

Built an AI-powered marketing intelligence platform that aggregates social media trends, competitor activity, and customer feedback into a unified interactive dashboard. The system identifies high-impact channels, generates content suggestions, and supports data-driven budget decisions. Developed during Infosys BizHacks (24h) using multi-agent workflows in n8n, external APIs, and a custom chatbot interface.

AuraSentinel
Jun 2025 · Les Mousquetaires

AuraSentinel

Designed a federated learning–based AI surveillance framework for retail environments, enabling real-time detection of suspicious behavior without transferring raw video data. Implemented a distributed training architecture to preserve customer privacy while continuously improving detection performance across stores. Developed as a scalable solution for large retail chains such as Les Mousquetaires, combining computer vision, secure aggregation, and privacy-aware model updates.

AMOC Climate Model
Jan 2025 · CentraleSupélec Modelling Week

AMOC Climate Model

Developed a numerical model in Python to simulate the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a key ocean current system influencing global climate stability. Built using NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib as part of CentraleSupélec's Modelling Week, applying computational methods to explore climate dynamics and tipping-point behavior.
