Mohamad’s strengths include backend development, REST API design, AI-enabled candidate evaluation, database-backed workflows, and full-stack application delivery using Python, PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, AWS, MongoDB, MySQL, and Microsoft SQL Server. As an AI Software Engineering Intern at POTECH, Mohamad built and deployed an AI-based intern evaluation system that reduced manual CV review time by approximately 70%, combining SentenceTransformers, FAISS, LLM-based ranking, FastAPI, Poetry, MongoDB, automated tests, and GitLab CI/CD. In an Amazon mentorship program, Mohamad led a four-person team, guided by two Amazon engineers, to build a crowd-density monitoring web application for AUB’s campus, where more than 10,000 students attend daily. The team won among 27 teams and was invited to continue development in the accelerator program. Mohamad has also delivered logistics-management and e-commerce applications and researched a data analytics platform for a VoIP telecom provider. ## Services - Artificial Intelligence \(AI\) - MongoDB - Python \(Programming Language\) - REST APIs - Large Language Models \(LLM\) - Amazon Web Services \(AWS\) - MySQL - JavaScript - HTML - Cascading Style Sheets \(CSS\) - PHP - Microsoft SQL Server ## Highlights - Led a four-person team in an Amazon mentorship program, guided by two Amazon engineers, to build a web application monitoring crowd density across the AUB campus, where more than 10,000 students attend daily. - Won the Amazon mentorship program project competition among 27 teams and received an invitation to continue development within the accelerator program. - Managed IT-department data intake using AWS SES retrieved and parsed email attachments from S3, stored data in DynamoDB, and created front-end APIs for the AUB crowd-density application. - Designed and built a logistics-management web application at TurkiShopper for deliveries from Turkey to Lebanon, including financial management, customer organization, order processing, and shipment tracking. - Improved work efficiency by more than 50% through the TurkiShopper management application. - Developed TurkiShopper’s backend with PHP and MySQL and frontend with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. - Built and deployed an AI-based intern evaluation system at POTECH using FastAPI and Poetry, reducing manual CV review time by approximately 70%. - Implemented semantic candidate retrieval using SentenceTransformers embeddings and FAISS indexing, integrated with LLM-based candidate evaluation and ranking at POTECH. - Designed REST APIs for CV ingestion, candidate profiling, and recommendation queries, supporting MongoDB-backed automated evaluation workflows at POTECH. - Architected pluggable LLM routing across local and cloud models, enabling faster development iteration and reducing external API dependency during testing. - Established automated test coverage and a GitLab CI/CD pipeline at POTECH, reducing deployment errors and cutting estimated release-cycle time by 50%. - Spearheaded development of an e-commerce platform at PROTEL S.A.L Offshore with a focus on secure user authentication. - Built the PROTEL e-commerce backend with PHP and Microsoft SQL Server and the frontend with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. - Designed and led research for a data analytics platform at iVoipe, evaluating data-visualization tools, customer data platforms, and in-house development. - Presented iVoipe leadership with a technical design recommendation and strategic plan for the optimal data analytics solution. ## Experience - **AI Software Engineering Intern at POTECH - "Paths of Technology"** (2025-05-01–2025-11-01) — Built and deployed an AI-based intern evaluation system using FastAPI and Poetry, reducing manual CV review time by ~70%.
