About me
a sophomore computer Engineering student who is in love with programming and computers and so passionate about everything related to them. I've been curious about learning more about computer science and I've got some experience with
- Java (and created a desktop app called Hash-Learning with my colleagues).
- Android and got a [[1]scholarship] by Google & Udacity and worked on an Android app project.
- web development (and created some simple web designs using HTML , CSS , JS and a simple CMS using PHP & MYSQL).
- GNU Linux and the open source tools (started using Linux in the last year and Fedora at August i think).
- Machine learning (still very beginner actually .. currently I'm learning about the Numpay Python library).
NOTICE : all of the projects are right here --> GitHub
experiences
- currently I'm a part of an open source community Called ADEF developing a computer science curriculum in Arabic for teaching children basic concepts about the computational thinking ,we are developing some sort of unplugged activities to illustrate some CS concepts .
- I have been a part of another community called Mushtarak where they are doing monthly events about the open source tools and what's new in the open source world.
- worked as a robotics trainer in 2016's Holiday ,teaching the teens and the children simple concepts about the robots.
Person
Ahmed Ayman was born in 1996 in Helwan, Cairo (the capital of Egypt). He lives in Giza with his family with 4 siblings. Since his childhood he was inspired by computers , He was looking at his uncle Emad doing weird stuff with a black screen (mostly the DOS at that time ), controlling the computer and solving-problems. He also loved the video games and spent most of his childhood trying and playing a lot of video games.
After he grew up and got a high grades in high school , he enrolled in College of Engineering at Al-Azhar university in Cairo and chose to be in computers and systems department cause he loves it and was passionate about it since his childhood,then he started his real journey exploring and learning different things, meeting up with different communities related to computer science , Those sort of communities and the meet-ups helped him gain a lot of knowledge win a scholarship by Google and Udacity , He is always curious about learning more and asking what's new in the world of computer science..
other points regarding the GSOC application
- what is motivating you ? and what keeps you focused ?
- doing some sort of TODO list and doing just one thing at a time keeps me focused, and I motivate my self to keep on track and finish everything on time.
- why fedora ?
- I have been using fedora since about 8 months as a main OS , I love it and the community as well ,I just want to be a part of this nice community by contributing with you and this program will be a great kick off to do so.
- which project ?
- I've chosen this project "Adwaita and HighContrast style for QtQuickControls" cause it's going to be a nice chance to contribute in changing the themes for fedora workstation and learning about QML will give me a nice chance to build apps since QML is a great tool for the cross platform apps , by the way I have already contacted the Mentor "Martin Briza" using both the IRC and the Mail.
- why I'm unique?
- first of all , I have a good background about C++.
- I'm a quick learner, I'm sure that by the beginning of the program I'll be with a very good knowledge about QML, I've already started learning it.
- finally, if it comes to curiosity and enthusiasm into learning then I'm sure that I'll be the most appropriate choice since It has been the main reason that helped me to engage in many communities and gain much knowledge.
- from May to September
- my examination will begin at 20th of May and it's going to end approximately at 5th of June .I can handle it though , studying for the exams won't take much time.
hobbies
- programming and learning new stuff about computers.
