About me

My name is Adam Badr, and I'm currently an undergradute at MBZUAI in their BSc AI degree. Funilly enough, I wanted to be an applied mathematics major for nearly all my life right until I discovered what a neural network was near the middle of my first semester in year 13. I found the math super cool, and give it a year since then I have only gone further down this rabbit hole. Hey, I certainly haven't left maths behind whatsoever, it's the best of both worlds :). I really like a lot of topics, and outside of academics reading, chess, weightlifting and gaming (although not much anymore) are things I like to enjoy. Travelling (with the right people) is also something I've recently discovered to be amazing. Anyway, enough of my yapping session. Thank you for reading this :).

Projects

MNIST FFNN Trainer

User-friendly program that allows a user to customise and train a FFNN, save and download it, load it, and test image recognition on a pre-trained model that's locally incorperated. Zero Libraries: This project is implemented entirely in Java from scratch, without any machine learning, math, or plotting libraries. All matrix math, file I/O, training logic, activation functions, and data handling were self-built.

Private: IB 2025 exam season

LSTM Weather Predictor for Abu Dhabi

This is a TensorFlow and Pytorch-based implementation of a two-layered LSTM network that trains on Abu Dhabi weather data from OpenMeteo API from the last 30 days, to then make a prediction about the next hour's statistics. This program also benchmarks the two models by comparing MSE and MAE, and their respective performances on each statistic.
