I'm a Year 12 student at Doha Academy and an AI + Software Engineering student building real-world systems that combine software, hardware, and intelligent technologies.
I like problems that sit where code meets the physical world, such as voice-controlled smart homes, sensor-driven security systems, and small tools that make everyday work faster. My focus is on clean engineering, understanding how things work from first principles, and shipping projects that actually run.
- Targeting a Computer Science / Artificial Intelligence degree
- Studying towards A Levels in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science
- Interested in AI/ML, IoT & robotics, embedded systems, and cybersecurity
- Practising applied machine learning and AI concepts from HarvardX CS50 AI
- Expanding my My-Personal-Projects monorepo across Python, C, web, and IoT
- Iterating on my personal site at itsactuallyrayaan.uk (React + TypeScript + Vite)
