Hi!!
I'm Jawad, and I made this website from scratch with HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
If you have any feedback I would love to hear it!
You can contact me using the email provided in the "Email Me" section below.
I'm in my fourth year Engineering Physics at UBC!
In my free time, I like to code, spend time with friends and family,
or volunteer with the UBC Engineering community!
For the course ENPH 253, I designed and CAD modeled the entire chassis of a robot, then manufactured and assembled the robot. The robot was tasked with constructing meals out of plastic food. I also programmed the autonomy and functionality of the robot, allowing it to compete in the competition without a human controlling it.
For ENPH 353, I designed a deep Q-learning reinforcement learning program to control the driving system of a virtual robot using the ROS in a Gazebo simulated world. I designed the architecture of the deep Q-learning neural network and determined the hyperparameters that lead to fastest training convergence and best validation performance.
As my first coding project to help me learn some basics of JavaScript, I decided to remake the game Pong! This project was a good introduction to logical decision making in programming.
With chess being one of my hobbies and coding being another, I decided it would be a fun project to code a website for playing chess. I plan to some day create a chess AI bot to play against!
In the course APSC 101, my team and I designed two autonomous claws to accomplish a few tasks such as picking up a wide variety of objects. Our claws were very successful in terms of versatility, accuracy, and speed!
The very first project in engineering at UBC is to build a chair made of cardboard! My team and I set a heavy focus on limiting use of cardboard and on the strength of the chair. We also ensured ease of use and assembly.
In grade 12, I was the team captain of my APEGA Science Olympics team. We designed and constructed a swings ride for eggs that uses reused and recycled materials! We did really well in functionality, as well as analysis of the physics of the ride.
