Studying on a fully-funded Fulbright scholarship, I developed a strong
foundation in AI principles while focusing on Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing,
and Linguistics. I excelled in courses like Data Mining, Advanced Data Analytics,
Advanced Representation Learning, Text Corpus Analysis, and Philosophy of Language.
I did my thesis on Arabic Image Captioning with Attention which produced accuracy results
that exceeded the state-of-the-art by using a transformer-based neural network architecture.
I Graduated with a GPA of 3.78, earning a master's degree in AI with great distinction.
During my Computer Science study, I developed a concrete understanding of
OOP, Software Engineering, Algorithms, Data Structures, Discrete Mathematics, Logic Design,
and
Artificial Intelligence.
I was consistently at the top of my classes for all 8 semesters and graduated with a
cumulative
average of (87.18%), the highest in the history of the Department of Computer Science at the
time of my graduation.
I've done many projects during my 4 years of study, such as a multi-level Space Shooter game
complete with boss fights and leaderboards built with vanilla C#, a library system for
e-books.
A mini-compiler complete with lexical analysis and compilation to assembly code, and an
extensive Education Management System built using Java for Android app, Swift for the iOS
app,
and NodeJS for the backend functionality.
