Software Engineer

ML/AI enthusiast

Welcome,

Lovely to meet you. Here is a little bit about me

I am a junior software engineer, a builder, a problem solver and I love it,

want to know more about my story for the past year, and how I went into exploring different career paths, click here

Projects

my main way of understanding concepts

is to build and play around

Arabic Handwritten Characters Recognition
My little brother challenged me to build a model that can identify handwritten Arabic letters—so here we go I made one! I developed a deep learning model that achieves 83% accuracy in recognizing Arabic handwritten characters
ViT-B/16 feature extractorPyTorch83% accuracycomputer vision
FoodVision Big
This project was completed as part of the MOOC (Zero to Mastery: Learn PyTorch for Deep Learning). It focused on building a computer vision model capable of identifying 101 different types of food
EfficientNet-B2 feature extractorPyTorchcomputer vision
Arabic Vs English Books
For fun I wanted to make a transfered learning model that classify English and Arabic books based on their covers, while the accuracy isn't perfect, I gained valuable experience in data handling and working with pretrained models

My own way to share my story, I designed and built my own platform from scratch
ReactTailwindFirebase Hosting
My Father's website
My first ever deployed application was my fathers's portfolio website
HTMLBootstrapFirebase Hosting
Tamakan
My graduation project, where my team and I developed an AI-powered application to help children practice and improve their Arabic pronunciation

    MOOCs

    ** massive open online course

    grateful to live in a world where knowledge is accessible, MOOCs gives me the most fun, especially when seeing my projects come to life

    Zero to Mastery Learn PyTorch for Deep Learning,January 2025

    What I enjoyed?

  • Gave me the opportunity to explore machine learning practically
  • Emphasized the importance of data exploration, following the "visualize, visualize, visualize!" motto to gain meaningful insights
  • Walked me through building models to predict various outcomes starting from predicting a line to making a model that can predict 101 kinds of food
  • Taught me to experiment continuously with models, following the "experiment, experiment, experiment!" approach, while tracking results
  • Introduced me to the skill of reading and understanding AI research papers
  • Showed me how to deploy and share models
  • Applied Data Science Specialization (V2),May 2023

    What I enjoyed?

  • It covered a range of essential topics from data collection and data wrangling to exploring and analyzing data for meaningful insights
  • Helpled me develop proficiency in building models with scikit-learn library
  • Flutter & Dart - The Complete Guide,April 2023

    What I enjoyed?

  • A comprehensive overview of Flutter by starting with small projects and progressively building up to more complex applications
  • Writing clean code and to think about reusability from the start, which is good and not only for Flutter but for software development in general
  • Introducing the clean architecture design principle, to build the app in organized structure and clear separation of concerns
