Data Science Intern
Sep. 2020 - Dec. 2020
Xina AI, Amman, Jordan
- Mastered the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence.
- Used the modern Deep Learning framework ”PyTorch” to build multi-layer neural networks, and analyze real data.
- Learned how to build Convolutional Networks and use them to classify images
- Learned the basics of NLP (Natural Language Processing) and how to build Recurrent Networks and use them to perform sentiment analysis.
- Learned how to annotate data for use in ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition), NER (Named Entity Recognition), POS (Part of Speech Tagging), and more
- Built NLU (Natural Language Understanding) and Rule-Based chatbots.
Embedded Systems Intern
May. 2019 - July. 2019
Nano Lab - German Jordanian University, Madaba, Jordan
- I have worked for two-months at Nano-Lab in GJU (German Jordanian University) in the programming of Arm microcontroller using C-embedded language for the spinning system device that is used to check the type of blood.
- That device is a semi-automated blood grouping apparatus where the blood sample is loaded into a microfluidic disc with three chambers containing anti-A, anti-B, and anti- D antibodies separately. It moves the blood sample through microfluidic channels via centrifugal force into the inspection chambers where a reaction between the pre-filled antibodies and samples antigens (if exists) would occur. Overover, a mounted camera captures the agglutination reaction and saves the results.
TRAiNER - Arduino Course
May. 2019 - July. 2019
Innovation for Creativity Development Association, Amman, Jordan
- I have worked on training the electronics and microcontrollers practical lectures for the students 13-19 years with Albaqa’s association for Humanitarian helping funded by UNICEF. At the of training, we used Arduino microcotroller to create a practical applications..
Applied Researcher
