UT Austin - Longhorn Developers
I contributed as a Frontend Fellow to UT Registration Plus, a student-built Chrome extension used by 50,000+ students to streamline course registration and scheduling at UT. I collaborated with the team through GitHub Issues, PRs, and project boards to improve UX/UI, deliver new features, and prototype a direct course registration flow, including the sign-in process and course data extraction logic.
Aramco - Aramco Research Center
I enhanced the synthetic training data for a computer vision model by creating and refining 3D renders in Blender, automating the workflow with Python, and integrating 360-degree HDRi images, resulting in a large accuracy boost. I also contributed to a change-detection project by preparing datasets, testing models in PyTorch, and building a flexible experimentation repo.
UT Austin - Software Engineering Class
I served as a course TA, mentoring six student teams on full-stack project architecture, holding weekly office hours, and giving detailed feedback on 30+ student blogs while reporting progress to the professor. I also rewrote the auto-grading script with proper error handling, reducing grading time down to about 5 minutes per assignment.
USC Viterbi School of Engineering - Data Science Lab
I implemented the Canonical Polyadic (CP) tensor decomposition algorithm using the Tensor Algebra Compiler and ran experiments on arbitrary datasets, achieving over 90% compression while preserving statistical significance. I also presented the algorithm and results at a department-wide symposium.
A selection of projects I've built and contributed to.
Building and evaluating a Federated Learning framework using Flower to handle Byzantine (malicious or unreliable) clients in real-world distributed environments.
Developed GILD, a paid messaging platform enabling user-to-user email communication with integrated balance management and transaction fees tracking.
Participated in a 3-month competition (SDAIA) to enhance ALLaM, a large Arabic language model, focusing on Arabic poetry generation improvements.
Developed a Python-based tool using scikit-learn and CodeCarbon to analyze model accuracy vs. energy consumption during hyperparameter tuning.
Collaborated with a team of 5 to develop a React web application with a MySQL database, showcasing data about wildfires, nearby fire protection facilities, and California counties.
