Engineering experience & selected projects

EV racing & telemetry

Team lead & telemetry developer · 2023–2026

  • Contributed to the car build from Grade 10 and led the school EV team in Grades 11–12.
  • Coordinated mechanical, electrical, and software work, vehicle testing, and race strategy.
  • Built the ESP32/LoRa telemetry pipeline, Python/Flask backend, and JavaScript dashboard.
  • Added physics-based power estimates, runtime and remaining-lap predictions, and driver-consistency analytics.

The telemetry system was used in races and supported a top-10 team finish in Grade 11. In Grade 10, our team earned 1st place in Workmanship and 3rd place in Technical Innovation.

SentinelOS

Sole developer in a four-person team · June 2026

  • Designed, implemented, and deployed the application as the sole developer in a four-person hackathon team.
  • Built the interface and backend using React, TypeScript, Node.js, and SQLite.
  • Integrated mapping and AI capabilities into route assessment and emergency-assistance workflows.

Won first place at the Abu Dhabi University Hackathon in June 2026 as the sole developer in a four-person team.

AWS DeepRacer / A2RL

Sole model developer · October–November 2025

  • Designed reward functions and tuned model-training parameters.
  • Iterated across model versions, using evaluation runs to guide changes.
  • Prepared the model for the live A2RL High School League finals.

Won first place in the A2RL High School League with an 8.133-second three-lap average. In the virtual competition, ranked 1st in the UAE, 22nd in MENA, and 330th globally.

GoKnowing

Creator & developer · Ongoing

  • Built a web platform combining destination busyness, weather, and route information.
  • Added best-time-to-go insights and an AI day planner.
  • Expanded the product into a Flutter/Mapbox mobile beta with navigation and contextual destination information.

The web platform is live at goknowing.app, with a Flutter/Mapbox mobile application in beta.
