Hossam-Ismail/README.md

Hey there, I'm Hossam πŸ‘‹

I'm a computer science student at the University of Southern Mississippi who loves solving problems through code. Whether it's competitive programming, building full-stack applications, or working on research, I'm always excited to learn and create something new.

What I'm up to

Currently, I'm working on low-cost hand-tracking systems for VR using Unity and Google MediaPipe as an undergraduate researcher. I also founded USM's first ICPC team, and we just won our first Gold Medal in our debut competition!

A few things I'm proud of

  • πŸ₯‡ Led my team to 1st place (Gold Medal) in the ICPC regional competition among 95 teams
  • πŸ… Ranked 28th out of 85,000+ in the Egyptian Olympiad in Informatics (top 0.03%)
  • πŸ“š Published research on encryption protocols for autonomous drones
  • πŸ‘¨β€πŸ« Taught embedded systems and PCB design to 80+ students at UC Berkeley

What I work with

Languages: C++, Python, JavaScript, Java, C#
Frontend: React, HTML/CSS, Electron
Backend: Node.js, Express, FastAPI, PostgreSQL
Other: Unity, Embedded, Git, Google Cloud Platform

Some projects I've built

Found.it - Won a hackathon with this intelligent file search engine that uses vector embeddings to find files 3x faster than traditional search

Stockly Extension - Chrome extension for real-time stock analysis with live market data, handling 50,000+ API calls daily

Sliding Puzzle Solver - Built one of the fastest A* pathfinding algorithms for solving 15-puzzles online

Let's connect
