🎓 Final-year Computer Science student at the American University of Beirut (AUB)
💻 Software Engineering & AI — applying to Master's programmes next
🌍 Based in Lebanon

I'm in my third and final year of Computer Science at AUB.

Most of what I know comes from building things end to end. I spent this summer interning at MT2, working across a large ASP.NET Core platform: payments, background services, and a voice-driven feature. I also contribute to Meshwar Lebnen, where I help build and maintain a production web platform with a team of three, working through pull requests and code review.

Outside of that I write a lot of systems and tooling code for its own sake: a Unix shell and an HTTP server in C, a thread pool and hash map in C++, and generic data structures in C#. I like understanding how things work underneath the abstractions.

• 🎯 Applying to Master's programmes in Software Engineering / AI Engineering
• 🧠 Building side projects in machine learning engineering, the area I want to grow into next
• 🤝 Helping build a production Vue/Nuxt + Go platform with the Meshwar Lebnen team

Full-Stack Engineer Intern — MT2 · Jun – Aug 2026
Built the member-facing side of a fitness-club management platform — 24 REST API controllers and the public web application — within a six-project ASP.NET Core solution (API, admin CMS, public site, shared domain/data core).

• Computer vision & voice: face-recognition check-in, live gym-occupancy tracking, and a voice coach with speech-to-speech interaction
• Payments: Stripe checkout and webhooks, cash-order flows, and subscription/membership management
• Background services: three hosted services for booking reminders, recurring class schedules, and renewal notices
• Engagement: a badges-and-rewards system, a dynamic form builder, and a "Log My Day" activity tracker
• Front end: membership and profile flows, avatar storage, a full dark-mode theme, and mobile responsive work

Stack: C# · ASP.NET Core (MVC + Web API) · Entity Framework Core · SQL Server · JWT auth · Stripe
Company code is private, so it is not publicly viewable — happy to discuss the work in detail.

I help build and maintain this organisation's production web platform (public site, admin dashboard, and API), working alongside a team of three through pull requests and code review — 20+ merged pull requests so far.

• Security hardening: added a Content Security Policy to the public site and set HttpOnly on refresh-token cookies
• Performance & UX: paginated large admin lists and capped unbounded result grids
• Responsive design: reworked filters and layouts for mobile breakpoints
• Accessibility & consistency: aligned focus outlines with the design-system colour variables
• Reliability: corrected error handling so server failures are no longer reported as missing content
• Maintenance: upgraded the Nuxt 3.x toolchain and kept the Go backend formatted and seeded correctly

Stack: Vue · Nuxt 3 · Go · templ · REST APIs
These repositories are private, so the code is not publicly viewable.

• BookShelf 📚
  A reading-tracker web app built with ASP.NET Core MVC — dashboard with reading stats and a live chart, full CRUD, search and filtering, and server/client-side validation.
  Tech: C#, ASP.NET Core MVC, Entity Framework Core, SQLite, Bootstrap, Chart.js.

• AI Chatbot 🤖
  Terminal chatbot built on the Claude API — response streaming, multi-turn conversation memory, switchable personas, token/cost tracking, and save/load. An exercise in API integration and CLI design.
  Tech: Python, Anthropic SDK, Rich, streaming API.

• AUB Course Review Platform 🌐
  Full-stack platform where AUB students anonymously review courses and professors — verified access, moderated content. Five-person team project for CMPS 271; I wrote the admin API and worked on the reviews page, routing, and landing page.
  Tech: React, Vite, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, Alembic.

• Connect-4 🔴
  Terminal Connect-4 in C for CMPS 241 (Systems Programming). I built the computer opponent, including a multithreaded hard mode and difficulty selection.
  Tech: C11, POSIX threads, Make.

• C++ Projects ⚙️
  Modern C++ systems projects: a header-only hash map (open addressing, tombstone deletion), a thread pool with std::future support, a concurrent file downloader, and an unbeatable Tic-Tac-Toe AI (Minimax + alpha-beta pruning).
  Tech: C++17/20, templates, STL, std::thread, std::packaged_task, condition variables.

• C Projects 🔧
  Systems programming in C featuring a mini Unix shell (pipes, redirection, background jobs) and a static HTTP/1.0 server with path-traversal protection.
  Tech: C11, POSIX, fork/exec, pipe, dup2, TCP sockets, Make.

• C# Projects 🔷
  CLI tools and OOP work in C#: a task manager with LINQ and JSON persistence, terminal Blackjack, generic data structures built from scratch, and four Gang-of-Four design patterns.
  Tech: C#, .NET 8, LINQ, generics, IEnumerable<T>.

• Java Projects ☕
  Java CLI and GUI applications covering object-oriented design, file I/O, and game development with Swing.
  Tech: Java 17, Swing, collections, file persistence.

• Python Projects 🐍
  Practical Python utilities and mini-apps — calculator, weather client, secure password generator, Snake, and a to-do manager.
  Tech: Python 3, requests, Pygame, JSON persistence.
