I'm Nidhal, a software guy, who wants to improve the software world. I contribute regularly to open source and I build projects to improve the productivity and help developers along the way.

I live in Stuttgart, Germany since 2016. I did a lot of research about machine learning/computer vision in the autonomous driving field when I was a student. Therefore, I started to create open source projects to make life easier and most importantly to provide the technology for everyone. I registered my first Patent in the machine learning field in 2019 at Porsche Engineering. My patent is about improving vehicle positioning accuracy during high dynamic driving using machine learning techniques.

I started the journey by open sourcing the b-rabbit package, which I wrote during my internship to make using the rabbitmq mqtt broker as easy as possible and provide a lot of flexibility. I also created a nodejs-package called wrabbity, which is inspired from b-rabbit.

Next, I created the gpx-converter , which is a tool to manipulate gpx files. I created the package during and after my master thesis since I needed a lot of gpx manipulation.

I recently started working on the deep-translator, which is a wrapper for multiple translators. Similarly, I started working on a nodejs-like package called dolmetscher.

I also created an implementation of the source difference neural network (sdnn), which is presented as an ideal network to improve GPS accuracy.

Currently, I'm working hard on developing igel, which aims to provide machine learning for everyone and make it super easy to use and extend machine learning functionality in an ergonomic environment. People/developers seem to like it and I received great feedback and positive interactions on github about it. I appreciate it a lot!
Igel is still under heavy development, my vision is to provide all people with an easy, but yet powerful way to use ML, whether for fun stuff or for production.

The sponsorship will surely help me move forward and work more on improving the software world. The long term goal is to become a 100% open source developer, which is very hard to achieve but still possible with your contributions & support ;)
