Abdelilah Akhmim
Co-founder & CTO at JABB · Casablanca, Morocco

I build AI systems that turn scattered field data into decisions companies can act on — customer and employee experience at JABB, and before that industrial safety, environmental sensing and LLM security.
State engineer in AI and computer science, ENSA El Jadida. Before JABB: agent-and-human platform governance at Orange, microservices modernization at Sofrecom, 3D medical segmentation at 3D Smart Factory.
Eleven competition placings in two years — five of them first place, including two national qualifiers that sent me to represent Morocco in Dubai.

Software
JABB2026
Customer and employee experience intelligence. I built the full stack — the consumer app people submit evaluations from, the voice-of-customer dashboard clients read, and the CX platform underneath both. The dispatch model I designed sends targeted surveys to real in-field missions, so clients get ground-truth data from their own locations instead of panel estimates.
LLMGuardian2024
A security assessment suite for teams shipping LLM features — run a model through a battery of checks and get back what failed, not a single number. Won the Morocco national qualifier of the Arab Cybersecurity Challenge and went on to Expand North Star, Dubai.
GreenBee2024
AIoT platform for beekeeping — sensor hardware in the hive, models reading what the readings mean for colony health. Raised roughly 150,000 MAD in grants, ranked #4 among AI startups worldwide on F6S out of more than two million, and reached the last three of the AfriCHI 2025 design competition.
Agenix-Eye2025
Multi-agent system for industrial safety. YOLO handles detection on the floor, a RAG layer supplies the site's own safety context, and LangChain orchestrates the agents that decide when to raise a spoken alert.
Also built
AlHakikaNews2025
Fake-news detection platform combining an LLM with classical ML, reaching 95.3% accuracy across a corpus of more than 44,000 articles.
IAllo2025
AI call-bot for lead generation over WhatsApp and phone. Python on Twilio Voice Media Streams and the OpenAI Realtime API, bridging callers, human agents and backend services inside one live conversation.
H.A.S.S.A.N.2025
Highly Advanced Speech Support AI Navigator — a storefront blind and low-vision shoppers can use on their own. Voice authentication signs them in, then browsing, checkout and delivery tracking all run through speech.
MonuMate2025
AI tourist companion for Marrakech. NFC tags, QR codes and image recognition open a monument's story, and a RAG chatbot on a fine-tuned Falcon 7B answers the follow-ups and plans the rest of the trip. Built with Morocco's Ministry of Tourism for the EHTP Business Challenge.
Ni'ma2024
Real-time forest fire and illegal-activity detection using ESP-32 nodes over LoRa, cross-checked against satellite imagery.
SalamtyFirst2024
Industrial safety system pairing smart wearables with on-site computer vision (MobileNetV2) to flag protective-equipment violations as they happen.
