Faris Alblooki
Computer Scientist
At the University of York, I am BSci and BEng Computer Science graduate. Throughout my education, I have excelled in computer and mathematical/algorithmic skills, as well as theoretical understanding, due to several group projects and fieldwork activities worked on during my degree, I have enhanced my abilities in problem-solving, teamwork, and communication. After my Uni days I got hired by Saab as a Machine Learning Engineer and during my employment at Saab I worked on creating and developing object detection algorithms and image splicing.
​
My responsibilities now at R3 are to contribute to the development of educational content, which includes articles, videos, demo apps, and presentations. I also serve as an expert resource for our developer community, staying updated on our platform's capabilities and the technical landscape. My main responsibility is to create engaging Corda-related materials, such as documentation, blog posts, tutorials, demos, coding challenges, support articles, YouTube videos, and feedback surveys. Additionally, I provide technical training on Corda and develop training content for our Professional Service team to educate enterprise developers.
Projects
Procedural Animation Spider-like creatures (Hover for preview and click on image for more information)
I have worked and developed a procedurally animated spider and posted the code and explained it step by step since I have found 0 sources on this. Wanted to help the community. Still working on adding more features to the spider. (C# - unity)
Created a neural network trained on the CIFAR-10 set to identify images
A neural network classifier takes an image as its input and predicts a specific class as its output. The neural network has been trained on the CIFAR-10 training set and has been evaluated on the official CIFAR-10 test set. (Python)
Image generation through speech
Created a python program that listens into the microphone and sends an AI-generated image using an API from what it listens to. Connected it to discord to use it as a bot to generate images on demand from text or from a video where it uses the text recognition software to generate an image of what it heard in the video
Created a website to identify and track educational journeys
created a website using (PHP, CSS, HTML, MySql, and JavaScript) to create a database with every school in the UAE and a system to plan out a whole education journey from start in kindergarten to university with everything in mind (tuition, information, grades, and requirements)
Created a digital version of the educational game Catastrophic by the University of York
Designed and developed a digital version of an educational card game, Catastrophic (https://catastrophic.york.ac.uk/), to extend the educational reach of the game beyond the physical classroom and facilitate a user community and game development in the future using unity.
