Hi, my name is
Yacoub Ahmed
I'm a fourth year CS Masters Student at UCL. I enjoy making parallelised and automated backend services with a focus on efficiency and robustness, as well as creating deep learning models.

About Me



I've always been interested in computers and have spent the past five years learning as much as I can about how they work, as well as figuring out how I can create new technologies of my own. I created this website to serve as a platform for me to share my ideas and projects with the world in a creative and engaging way.
I love creating visualisations for algorithms as well as large-scale simulations. I've also developed games in the past and learned a lot about working in a team from game jams and hackathons. Lately I've been fascinated by machine learning, especially multi-agent reinforcement learning problems (something I'm tackling in the agario project).
I'm eager to continue learning and developing my programming skills further. I plan to find out more about blockchain, AI/ML (especially reinforcement learning), image processing and security for the next year.
