About Me

Engineering Science · Software & Systems · Physics

I'm Mohamed, an Engineering Science student at the University of Toronto planning to pursuing Engineering Physics. I'm often intrigued by problems that revolve around mathematics, and find myself very passionate towards them. I also love building and seeing tools that connect theory with applictions in the real world.

  • I'm interested in applied physics, number theory, and abstract geometry
  • Experience spanning embedded systems, backend automation, and game development
