From logic gates
to working
systems.

I’m Tarek, a computer engineering student at Khalifa University. I work on processors, embedded systems, and software.

Selected projects

A few things I’ve worked on
01

RISC-V single-cycle CPU

Following an instruction through a processor, from fetch to write-back.

Computer architecture02

SumoX-26 robot firmware

Robot behavior, hardware interfaces, and tools for an autonomous sumo robot.

Embedded systems03

Image compression with K-means

Reducing an image’s color palette by clustering pixels in RGB space.

Machine learning04

A shell in C

Command parsing, pipelines, and a remote client/server shell.

Systems programming

Curious about what’s
under the hood.

I’m interested in how hardware and software fit together. My projects range from a processor datapath to robot firmware and the internals of a command-line shell.

This is a collection of coursework and projects I’m learning from and building on.
