Software engineer (B.Sc. Computer Engineering, Ain Shams University, 2026). I build systems that process heavy, messy, real-time data: streaming backends, distributed pipelines, embedded firmware and ML, most often for brain signals (EEG/BCI).
| Project | What it shows |
|---|---|
| ieeg_backend | Plugin-based Python backend that streams a 1.2 GB, 172-channel recording in ~150 MB RAM. ABC contracts, adapter pattern, 100% test coverage on the core. |
| distributed_systems | Distributed crawler + search engine on AWS SQS/S3. Hot-standby master with heartbeat failover, horizontally scalable workers. |
| python-dhcp-server | DHCP server from scratch (RFC 2131/2132) with Scapy. Full message set, thread pool, 20+ req/s. |
| p300-bci-speller | Real-time brain-typing. LSL streaming with a synthetic sample clock (jitter-free alignment, zero added latency), xDAWN + LDA / Riemannian MDM, Bayesian dynamic stopping, LLM word completion confirmed by SSVEP. |
| eeg-emotion-recognition | Graduation project (graded 4.0/4.0). Dry-electrode EEG → per-electrode contact-quality gating → ASR artifact reconstruction → classical ML + TSception. Backed by a 10-block study on our own 180-trial dataset. |
| mindmetric-eeg-app | The same pipeline running on a phone: Bluetooth straight to the headset, C++/Eigen ASR over JNI, ONNX TSception, and Dart DSP verified against Python by parity tests. |
| DEAP | Research framework (13 feature families, 8+ model types, nested CV, 6 deep-learning branches) behind hundreds of experiments. Showed a published 88–89% result falls to ~70% under subject-aware evaluation. |
| RTOS | FreeRTOS vehicle-safety firmware on ARM Cortex-M4: 5 tasks, queues, mutex, ISR → task handoff. |
