Hey, I'm Omar Shawky

Software Engineer, Electrical and Communications Engineer, Academic Writer & Résumé Writer

Projects

About Me Self-taught Software Engineer from OSSU and MOOCs. Bachelor's of Science and Bachelor's of Engineering from British University in Egypt (BUE) and London South Bank University (LSBU) respectively (Dual Degree) in Electrical and Communications Engineering. 6+ years of experience in Academic Writing. Currently, targeting Tech Giants (FAANG, FAANG+, Fortune 500).

Software Engineering

After graduation, I shifted career to Software Engineering and self-taught from MOOCs. I finished Books on Computer Science Fundamentals (Programming Languages, Algorithms & Data Structures, Problem-Solving) and built 12 Algorithmic APIs (such as Lossless Data Compression API (like 7Zip & WinRaR) and Image Aware Resizing Algorithm (similar to one in Adobe Photoshop)), GUI Multiplayer Network Chess Game, Mini Interpreter and GUI Tetris Game. I am helping people study CS Fundamentals throughout Discord server that I created. Currently, I am targeting Tech Giants alongside friends in that Discord server.

Academic & Résumé Writing

Edited and proofread published IEEE academic papers collaboratively using Microsoft Word & $\LaTeX$. Unofficially reviewed Software Architect résumé in Fortune 100, Senior Tester for EU, 30+ Interns and Entry Level résumés for FAANG+. Started providing free résumé tips & feedback in aforementioned Discord and in LinkedIn Post.
