About Me

I’m Othmane Echchabi, an M.Sc. student in Computer Science at McGill University and the Mila Québec AI Institute, where I also serve as a Lab Representative. My work focuses on computer vision, self-supervised learning, and remote sensing, and I’ve led applied machine-learning projects across environmental monitoring and mobility analytics. When I’m not coding, you’ll find me playing football, watching it, or somewhere on the road planning my next trip.
