Youssef Samy

Hi👋! I'm Youssef Samy, a computer & electronics engineering student based in Egypt.

ABOUT

Student at University of Alexandria, (representative of) class of 2028, pursuing a major in Computer & Communications Engineering. Mathematician at heart, an engineer by noradrenaline deficiency. My love for electronics started ever since I was a kid, computer and mechanics have always been a side effect. My love for physics [and to a lesser extent, chemistry] was also a side effect of my love for electronics and mechanics. As a result, most of what I do with computers to computers is at the lower level, and the remainder of my passion for math and algorithms creeps its way into the higher level work and programming I do.
Deeply interested in the sustainability and efficiency of programs and electronics, including possible reimaginations of encryption software, computer & CPU architecture, transistor technology, thermodynamics at the electronics level (like the effect it may have on cells, capacitors and semi and superconductors), and how storage devices are used.
Bit of a boring nerd most of the time, might as well have office hours for if you want to talk to me so you think twice before putting yourself in a convo about some niche brainy things. When that's not the case, I have the most brain-damage-inducing fun and make cool memories.

Academic Interests

I'm currently studying a few subjects and working on others. Here are a few of the things I'm currently doing or planning on doing.

Self-studying [Might pursue academically later on]:
General Mechanics & Thermodynamics | Useless mathematics | Quantum Computing, Cryptography & Comp. Sci. | ML, Economics & Philosophy

Academically studying:
Computer & Communications Engineering | Electronics Engineering

Special Thanks To

A lot of people contributed to my intellectual & career development. I'll show a limited selection of those who contributed to things relevant to what you'll see on my profile here.

Individual	Contribution
Yusuf Emad	Big little hustler who had a lot of geeking out with me
Irv Kalb	Personally taught me a substantial bit about Python OOP, irvkalb on discord
Grant "3Blue1Brown"	Put out amazing maths and machine learning courses from which I learned
Linnea Gräf "Nea"	Another tech role model who held my hand through a bit of Java and DBus work in Minecraft Modding, nea89 on discord
Corey Shafer	Provided concise and invaluable lessons on difficult programming concepts and particularly their implementation with Python on YouTube
