From Jordan (the country, not the shoes). I build tools so people don't get stuck the way I did. Double-click around. Mind the cat.
Hi everyone my name is Kareem! I'm from Jordan (the country—not the shoes, Michael, or Georgia) and moved to Irvine last August to pursue computer science at IVC. I tend to have this bad habit of filling up all my time with a bunch of classes and activities; apparently I love staying busy…
I do try to stay human by doing things like playing volleyball and the piano before throwing it all away by listening to Swedish progressive death metal. When it comes to my diet, my friends think it's concerning. I LOVE red meat in all shapes and sizes, raw or cooked medium rare. It's basically all I eat, although I do dabble in milk fruits and honey to keep a healthy balance.
Growing up in Jordan, there weren't enough available resources to satisfy my curiosity, so I often had to figure a lot of things out on my own. That feeling of being stuck with no sense of direction and nobody to ask is still something I feel today. So to prevent others from getting stuck in the same loops I was raised on, I plan to build tools to make it seem more manageable.
A platform that untangles California college transfers: 28,000+ course articulations across 45 UC/CSU campuses, a semester planner, and an AI advisor. I built it because I'm a transfer student who was drowning in the same spreadsheets.
Donate your voice so people who've lost theirs — ALS, stroke, cancer — can speak in a human one instead of robotic text-to-speech. Built with ElevenLabs + Claude.
I'm a lead organizer for a nonprofit hackathon for community college students. We've raised $13,000+ in sponsorships, including $10,000 from AWS.
Annotated and reviewed Large Language Model training data on the HumanSignal platform to ensure quality. Analyzed task metrics like time-on-task and inter-annotator agreement to improve data accuracy, identified platform issues and proposed workflow fixes, and built test cases and Figma mockups to communicate design improvements.
I challenged a university's published value (0.67) with 390 of my own measurements across 13 launch angles — and found 0.47. A ~4,000-word paper.
A 61-student study on how AI use affects performance, presented at the IVC–Saddleback Research Symposium.
Why I reverse-engineered ASSIST instead of waiting for an API.
ASSIST holds every articulation a California transfer student needs, locked behind a site that never shipped a public API. I waited. Then I stopped waiting — mapped the request shape myself and pulled 28,000+ articulations into something a human could actually plan a transfer with. Here's how, and what broke along the way.
