I am applying to the Computer Science freshman class where I can further develop my skills in problem-solving and programming. I enjoy combining mathematical concepts with coding to understand how systems work. In addition to coursework, I actively participate in extracurriculars like programming competitions, leading a research group, and tutoring students in CS principles. I also self-study Frontend Web Development through online tutorials. Notable projects of mine include an Admin Dashboard app and a YouTube clone application where I utilized skills in development. Through continuous learning and experience, I aim to become a well-rounded software developer that solves real-world issues.

During my time at the NCD, I consistently achieved high academic honors, ranking among the top ten students. I was also among a select few who attained significant success in national and international competitions throughout the Center's history, making considerable accomplishments that placed me among the highest-achieving students the NCD has seen
• Advanced, Duolingo English Proficiency Test • Honorable mention, International Mathematical Modeling Challenge, China • Honorable mention, 4th International Mathematical Modeling Tournament, Russia • Honorable mention, 22nd Kolmogorov Readings International Science Conference, Russia • 1st place, Third Syrian Mathematical Modeling Challenge • Certificate of Participation, Final Qualification of the Syrian Olympiad in Informatics • JavaScript Essential Training, LinkedIn course • CSS Essential Training, LinkedIn course • HTML Essential Training, LinkedIn course
Developed a YouTube clone web application using React and Material UI. Key features include custom video categories, video cards, channel pages, and video watch pages with embedded playback and related video suggestions, providing core YouTube functionality
Developed a movie discovery web application from scratch using vanilla JavaScript. Users can search for any movie to view ratings and overviews. Core features include search, movie cards, ratings, overviews, and a smooth, responsive UI using modern JavaScript.
Built a fully responsive and customizable React Admin Dashboard Application from scratch. It features a dashboard with metrics, charts, three pages (orders table, employees, customers), and four apps (calendar, kanban, WYSIWYG Editor, color picker). Users can toggle between six theme colors and switch between dark and light mode.

In 2022, my team and I were selected to represent Syria in international mathematical modeling competitions and accomplished two honorable mentions. As the team programmer, I was responsible for constructing C++ codes to investigate significant human systems. For instance, I analyzed the boarding and disembarking process for three types of aircrafts and suggested two time-efficient models, studied Two categories of parallel parking to determine the best to use in Singapore, and achieved balance between the use of the dam’s enclosed water and the production of electricity using hydroelectric power. I was able to devise strategies and amalgamate mathematical ideas with programming concepts. Although it was challenging, it proved worthwhile when my program ran successfully. Noticing myself improving and producing original functional codes strongly motivated me. Given that I did not have a mentor, I self-learned to make educated guesses in coding, which increased my confidence in making critical decisions. I have a great interest in computing. I believe your college education would expand my knowledge in both theoretical and practical fields, which would be instrumental to bring my innovative thinking to fruition.

I am the kind of person whose energy and commitment never quit. In my first meeting in the Scientific Saturday Program at school, I suggested investigating the life-threatening thalassemia. Supported it with the fact that prohibitive screening expenses impose an obstacle towards limiting the widespread of this disease. My main objective was to have a practical community impact, which was absent in other projects. The advisor was keen on my suggestion and encouraged us to collaborate.
We visited the hospital to further understand the impact of the disease and unexpectedly became engrossed in the thalassemia community. As the team research leader, I was able to compile quality resources, monitor our output, and provide constructive criticism in a friendly manner.
After studying blood-samples in the laboratory and comparing simulated genes on Geneious Prime, we found a new screening method. Rather than using a primer for each mutation on the gene sequence, we observed a highly mutated location and designed a primer for the encompassing location. This method would be applied to more population samples, cut down screening costs, and reduce the number of affected new-borns.
I self-learned HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, created a website, and published our findings to be available and beneficial to all people. Consequently, we topped science projects at school!
Leading through challenges and making a difference in the community were invaluable experiences. At college level, I aspire to learn real-practice expertise to lead Computer Science projects that would advantage my college community.
