About
My background, education and the work that led into software and computing.
I'm Yunus, a british algerian graduate in computer science. I am the first person in my family to attend university and completed an integrated Masters of Computing at Nottingham Trent University.
Most of my technical range has come from trying to make a particular project work. That has taken me through document AI, comparative machine learning, REST systems, desktop software, Arduino firmware, symbolic AI, digital forensics and a spiking neural network. More recently, I have been learning virtualisation, Linux and self hosting through a homelab.
Before university, I worked as a prosthetic technician and later as a lighting technician. Those roles gave me practical experience with manufacturing, repair, assembly, wiring and electrical testing. They are part of my background, but the work I am pursuing now is in software, AI and technical systems.
