Who I am

Mohamed Elwaei

I'm a Computer Science graduate from the University of South Florida with a minor in Mathematics, graduating Cum Laude with a 3.69 GPA.

My experience spans systems programming, AI/ML research, and full-stack development. I've served as a Teaching Assistant for four upper-division CS courses — Data Structures in C++, Operating Systems, Software Engineering, and Computer Architecture.

I've worked as an Undergraduate Research Assistant in a computational biology lab that uses AI for drug discovery and genomics, and I've also contributed to a computer vision lab building CNNs and autoencoders.

Outside of tech, I volunteer with NSBE to bring STEM education to K-12 students across Tampa.
