QAIS // COMPUTER SCIENCE
CS at Concordia. BJJ off-screen.
I'm a computer science student in Montréal. My projects include a French vocabulary trainer in Python and a route planner in Java. Here's a look at the code and what each project does.

▸ STUDYING & BUILDING
I'm Qais Alasmar, a computer science student at Concordia University, expecting to graduate in December 2027. I'm interested in software engineering, machine learning, and the decisions that go into a working application.
Adaptive French brings together vocabulary practice, review history, and a recall model. Dijkstra Route Planner takes a graph algorithm and puts it behind an interactive map. The repositories below include the code, setup instructions, and limitations.
At Lava Group, I built a repair-tracking system with Node.js, Express, and MySQL, including SMS updates through Twilio. I also co-founded Unravel and worked with a three-person team on product definition and early prototypes.
Outside of programming, I train and compete in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The gi character is a small nod to that.
Two projects, with different problems to work through. Each repository has instructions for running it locally.
A Python command-line trainer that logs answers and response times, then schedules vocabulary reviews. It also includes an optional logistic regression model for exploring recall prediction.
The model is experimental; improved retention hasn't been demonstrated.
A Java application that uses Dijkstra's algorithm to find routes through a weighted graph. A Swing map shows the selected path; a command-line interface runs the same routing logic.
The map and risk scores are fictional demonstration data.
Prefer to start with the source? My GitHub profile links to these projects. Open a repository to see how it's organized, read the README, or try it on your own machine.
These are the languages and concepts used in the two featured projects.
