About me

Hello! My name is Adam, born in Richmond, Virginia. I spent my early years in Syria, living there until I was 10 before moving to Las Vegas, where I've been ever since.

I've always been deeply passionate about solving complex problems, especially those involving math and science. Initially, I was drawn towards physics, envisioning a future in research. However, everything changed when I took my first computer science class. It was like a lightbulb moment for me. I became absolutely captivated by the idea of designing applications to automate tasks. This wasn't just another academic interest; it quickly grew into a genuine passion, evolving and deepening as time went by.

This newfound interest led me to integrate computer science into my physics studies, automating my homework and gradually shifting my focus away from physics towards improving my skills in computer languages. This shift was so profound that I eventually transitioned to a full Computer Science degree, a decision I've cherished ever since.

Currently, I'm on the lookout for an internship. My goal is to gain hands-on experience in the field and enhance my computer skills by learning from veterans in software development.

Outside of academics and career aspirations, I have a plethora of hobbies. I'm an avid basketball player and a video game enthusiast. My all-time favorite game is League of Legends, which I've been playing since season 6, mostly in the top lane role. I often compare it to chess, but with a twist — it's a team-oriented game where each player is a critical piece, working together to achieve a singular objective.

Projects

Portfolio Website

This project marked one of my initial deep dives into the realm of coding. Through it, I acquired skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, enriching my first-hand experience in web development. Additionally, this website significantly enhances my professional portfolio, offering an interactive platform for those interested in learning more about my work and background. The site also features a template of my resume. Importantly, the script used to create this website is publicly available on my GitHub, serving as a Bootstrap template for anyone interested in utilizing it for their own projects.

BlackJack Card Counting Simulator

This Project offers a sleek, user-friendly simulator for blackjack card counting. It features a virtual blackjack table for practice, complete with an integrated system to track card counts using methods like Hi-Lo. Users, from beginners to advanced players, can learn through interactive tutorials and customize game settings. A progress tracker monitors counting accuracy, helping users improve their skills. Focused on privacy, the site ensures data security, making it a go-to resource for enhancing card counting techniques.

Research

Operational Amplifier:

An operational amplifier, commonlyknown as an op-amp, is a fundamental electronic component often used in signal processing. It's a type of voltage amplifier with a very high gain (amplification factor). An op-amp typically has two input pins (inverting and non-inverting) and one output pin. The output voltage is a multiple of the difference in voltage between the two input pins, amplified by the op-amp's gain.


Spectrometer:

A spectrometer is an analytical instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically used to identify materials or analyze their composition. It works by dispersing light into its constituent wavelengths (spectrum) and then measuring the intensity of the wavelengths. The data collected can provide valuable insights into the chemical structure, concentration, and physical properties of a sample.

Electron to Mass Ratio

The electron-to-mass ratio (e/m) is a key physical constant indicating the charge of an electron relative to its mass. It's essential in physics and chemistry for understanding electron properties and behaviors. This ratio is crucial for exploring fundamental forces on electrons and has applications in electronics, atomic structure analysis, spectroscopy, and particle physics. Accurate measurement of e/m has been vital in advancing quantum mechanics and the standard model of particle physics.

P-N Junction

A p-n junction is a critical element in semiconductor technology, created where p-type (positive charge carriers) and n-type (negative charge carriers) semiconductors meet. This junction forms a depletion region with an electric field, allowing current to flow primarily in one direction, giving it diode-like properties. P-n junctions are essential in making diodes, transistors, solar cells, and integrated circuits, serving as a cornerstone in modern electronic devices.
