Arkan T. Abuyazid

Quick Introduction

My name is Arkan Abuyazid, and I am a computer science master’s student at Texas A&M University. My journey as an engineer in tech began with two career missions. One, I aim to support scientists and artists achieve the impossible by supplying solutions in the forms of software and hardware to address their computing needs. Two, I strive to build consumer products that drastically improve the lives of the common person. I have explored the fields of electrical engineering and computer science to find my place in the world, from computer architecture and compiler design for hardware accelerators to high-level applications such as deep learning and image processing.

With those two missions as my compass, I have decided to explore different algorithms that utilize GPUs and parallel computing as well as their applications. The problems scientists, artists, and the world at large face are only getting more complex; therefore, my solutions must become that much smarter. In my next phase of my career as a master’s student, I intend to explore graphics, scientific disciplines outside of computing, and current deep learning models. I also intend to broaden my understanding of the GPU’s architecture and master how to design parallel algorithms.

To accomplish these tasks, I am involved in various clubs and organizations, being active in academia, and taking computational science courses. I am currently building embedded AI/ML models for a start-up whose mission is to provide full home automation at an affordable price. My aim is to extend the capabilities of their flagship product by applying utilizing my knowledge in image processing and embedded systems. I am also engaged in the Aggies Coding Club, where I am contributing to their own game engine. My goal is to familiarize myself more with the game developer space and support my team members in their C++ development journey.

I am open to opportunities in Scientific Computing, AI Software/Algorithms, GPU Software, and Backend Engineering
