Hi, This is Wafik

I am a Master's thesis student at the University of Pittsburgh, specializing in Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning. My work centers on designing algorithms that bridge theory and practice, with applications to real-world decision-making and optimization problems. I am particularly interested in applied ML/RL, algorithms with predictions, and quantum computing. Alongside my research, I bring over two years of industry experience in full stack and mobile development, where I built and deployed scalable, production-ready applications.
