Hadi Al Shmaissani
ECE student on the Dean's Honor List. I like taking things apart to understand them, then rebuilding them on my own terms: from ML models to the servers they run on.
Talent gets you started. Obsession is what ships it.

Beyond the engineering

Automotive & Formula 1 enthusiast
The engineering side. Aero, strategy, why a tenth appears or vanishes.
Embedded & IoT
Where the tinkering started. Arduino fire detection, two science-fair wins.
Self-hosted everything
Vault, storage, notes and photos on my own hardware, through a VPS I configured.
Basketball
Watch more than I play these days, but still play when I can.
Running
A few kilometers most weeks. Strava logs it, nobody else sees it.
Strength training
In the gym regularly. Progress tracked in Hevy.
