What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles building AI-driven web products where I can contribute full‑stack development, ML model work, and continue learning LLM integration in collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am a Computer Science senior at the American University of Beirut on a full USAID scholarship, building full‑stack web and AI-powered applications. I combine coursework in data structures, algorithms, machine learning and software engineering with practical project experience to deliver production-ready features.

My projects include a Streamlit resume critique app powered by GPT-3.5, an XGBoost game churn classifier with 90% accuracy on 40k records, a Spring Boot + MongoDB medical records platform with JWT authentication, and a Node.js social network supporting authentication, chat and admin tools.

I have internship experience integrating OpenAI for intelligent job search recommendations, volunteer teaching experience tutoring OOP, and active involvement in AI/LLM bootcamps and university tech clubs. I prioritize building reliable, user-focused software and learning cutting‑edge ML/LLM techniques.
