Hi! My name is Mohamed Elgharbawy. I live in the Bay Area, and attended UC Berkeley. I have completed my master's degree in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, with a focus in optimization and machine learning. You can check out my thesis here!
I began learning computer science around middle school, and have stuck with it ever since. I enjoy showcasing my creativity and problem solving skills through projects, both at school and in my free time. In fact, this website was a project I decided to accomplish over the summer!
In my free time, you can catch me playing basketball with my friends, watching the Warriors, and going to the gym. I also love playing chess and video games.
During my time at Amazon, I learned and applied the fundamental stages of software development and project management. This includes design, implementation, monitoring, and more.
Through my internships with Amazon and AI Health, as well as CS186 at UC Berkeley, I learned the fundamentals of SQL and DynamoDB, and used it extensively while completing tasks.
Through extensive courses during my undegraduate and graduate time at UC Berkeley, I have become proficient with both the theory and applications of machine learning and artifical intelligence.
At Amazon, I worked on a full stack web application, new API’s, and database systems. I designed and implemented a pre-compute solution to reduce loading times significantly for a commonly used service. Software and tools include Java, React, Javascript, HTML, CSS, SQL, DynamoDB, Google Guice, AWS, and more.
As a teaching assistant, I helped other college students understand and grasp the fundamentals of programming. Java was the primary language used throughout projects and homework.
As a software intern at this startup, I assisted in writing the primary software to detect if fraud is occurring at a dental office. I frequently used C++, Python, MySQL, Apache, and phpMyAdmin.
As a Senior English Tutor, I not only assisted the students that came in on a daily basis to get help with their essays and reading, but also trained and mentored new hire tutors during their first year.
