I am driving the mission to democratize robotics by building OORB, Africa’s first AI-native, open-source robotics development ecosystem. My work sits at the intersection of deep academic research and high-impact industrial engineering.
My Expertise & Focus Areas:
- OORB Leadership: Directing product and technology strategy for OORB Studio (cloud-based platform) and the OORB Framework (AI agents for ROS2 code generation).
- Deep Tech: Specialized in FPGA-based real-time hardware acceleration, embedded systems, RF design, and next-generation real-time simulation (digital twins).
- Academic: Applied PhD candidate in Telecommunications at INRS Montreal.
OORB's technology is engineered for verifiable results:
- Achieved 42% faster prototyping in labs and 50% cost reduction for a Swiss robotics client.
- Engaged 120+ students and delivered 55+ technical workshops.
- Recipient of major awards.
- Email (OORB Business): djedidikayoum@oorb.io
- Location: Montreal, QC, Canada / Sousse, Tunisia
- Collaboration: Seeking strategic B2B partnerships for academic deployment of the OORB platform. Raising our pre-seed round, closing in Q1 2026.
I am deeply committed to open-source contribution and technical education, serving as an active IEEE leader focused on community impact and technology transfer.
