More About Me
Welcome! I'm Nada Baydoun, a Master Computer Science Student at AUB, and a Machine Learning Engineer from Zaka AI. Currently, I am working as a Research Assistant at AUB and an Administrative Officer at BAU, and I'm teaching at Loyac an introduction to Machine Learning Bootcamp.
During my work experience, I've gained a lot of skills, some of them are the following (You can find more on my CV by clikcing here)
In addition to working with Loyac , Let's graduate , and Zaka AI Academy, here are my current jobs:
September 2022 - Present
Handled many different tasks concerning lab preparations, lab assignments, midterm and final preparations, teaching, corrections, project assessments.
September 2022 - Present
Work on different administrative tasks such as writing reports, managing exams and course schedules, data entry for the Faculty of Science website, and many more.
September 2023 - Present
Helped undergrad students solve their lab sessions and held classes to do problem solving on different topics, in addition assisted professors and doctors during their research.
September 2023 - Present
September 2019 - June 2022
February 2022 - June 2022
Durnig my undergrad studies, Zaka's program and my masters degree, I've done many small projects that you can find below:
To apply our Knowledge in the web programming, my team and I build a website for a restaurant. we worked on the front end and the back end part. using the website, we were able to let users reserve tables, book a timeframe for special occasion celebrations, and a delivery system was available.
To apply all the material given in the software engineering course, we were able to build a UNL, DFD, sequence diagram, and a use case diagram for the project, in addition we specified the functional and nun functional requirements of the project
In the Concepts of Programming Languages Course, we were asked to build anything we want in a non familiar programming language, so we used Lua language to build a game on Roblox studio called Maze Survival, this game is still on Roblox and players can enter and play it with each others.
For the image processing courses, we were taught how to work on filters and apply them, and I noticed that this is the data cleaning process when building a computer vision model, and I went a step further, learnt CNN, and built a model that can predicts whether an individual has the corona virus or not by processing lung X-Ray images
This was my first project during my masters studies, my team and I worked on joining 2 information retreival models, used an API, and build a user interface for the project. As for the dataset, we used the Medical dataset ptovided by the professor and we went into a rigorus cleaning process using text cleaning steps (since we were working on articles and journals), lastly, we combined python and java code in 1 application that takes as input the genomic query and outputs the 10 most relevant articles found.
This is the second project that I built in my masters studies. During this project, we went into a lot of literature reviews and self studies so we undestand how specialized heaps do the nisertion and deletion processes. In addition, we had many different ideas to minimize the computations and time to do both operations and we were able to apply 3 of them. We used Cuda since we were programming on the GPU. Lastly, we were able to fully implement 3 optimizations.
After gaining a lot of knowledge in different topics, with my teaching job requiring me to know a big variety of concepts, I can mostly help and work in the following positions
After delivering a machine learning workshop and bootcamp, and teaching four different courses related to machine learning at AUB, BAU, and ZAKA Academy, I am confident in my ability to help you build models, clean data, preprocess it, and more.
One of my teaching experiences was as a coach for the Lebanese Collegiate Programming Contest, where I significantly improved students' problem-solving skills and further enhanced my own expertise in coding, particularly in data structures and algorithms.
I taught Object-Oriented Programming course two times at BAU where I guided students in building classes, interfaces, and completing their first projects. Additionally, I self-studied Java UI development and successfully taught these skills to students at BAU.
Developing the Maze Survival Game opened up a new world of programming for me, sparking my interest in teaching myself Unreal Engine and Unity with the goal of publishing my own game. Focusing on game development is a key part of my future plans, and I am always seeking opportunities to create a complete game.
Passionate about teaching, I've consistently received positive feedback from students at both universities, especially for the course I am currently teaching. I enjoy sharing knowledge and helping students improve their grades and deepen their understanding of the material.
Conducting research in the field of Large Language Models (LLMs) and working on both my Master's projects, as well as my thesis, has required extensive research efforts. I find this field rich with innovation and enjoy sharing ideas.
