Background

Developer by training, teacher by passion. Alpha Oumar Sow has over 10 years of experience in software development and artificial intelligence, in France and Canada.

His career began at IRIT (Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse), where he worked on critical systems like aircraft cockpits. He then moved on to missions at Akka Technologies (Airbus, Île-de-France Mobilités, Ministry of Agriculture) before joining IXIASOFT in Montreal as a full-stack developer.

He became Technical Lead at Atos, leading technical teams, before transitioning to teaching at Cégep de Valleyfield where he trains the next generation of IT professionals in AI, Data Science, Java Spring and DevOps.

Today, with Gufaca, he brings this dual experience — technical and pedagogical — to organizations that want to transform their competitive advantage through AI.
