Computer Engineering @ Penn State · Class of 2029
I build things you can hold — and the software that runs them.
AI apps that ship, drones that fly themselves, consoles you can hand to a friend, and PCBs that fit their enclosures. Every build documented step by step, mistakes included.

Race-Car PCB Repack
OngoingNittany Motorsports electronics work: redesigning PCB component placement in KiCad to fix enclosure fitment problems inherited from earlier board revisions on a student-built race car.
Studentify
DeployedA full-stack AI study planning platform: a Python backend pulls your real Canvas workload — grades, deadlines, submission history — and Gemini turns it into a personalized daily schedule delivered over Telegram.
Handheld Retro Console
Field-testedA portable Linux gaming console built from a Pi 4, a 7-inch screen, a UPS battery, and a 3D-printed enclosure I designed in SolidWorks — with controls soldered across nearly every GPIO pin.
Autonomous eVTOL Drone
Field-testedLeading the UAS2030 team on a lightweight electric VTOL aircraft — custom 3-propeller configuration, 3D-printed structural airframe, and full electronics integration for autonomous surveillance flight.
— About —
Hardware taught me patience. Software taught me speed. I refuse to pick one.
I'm Youssef — a Computer Engineering student at Penn State who's happiest somewhere between a soldering iron and a terminal. I've led a drone team building a 2-meter autonomous eVTOL, shipped an AI study planner to real users, built a handheld console from a Raspberry Pi and a spool of PLA, and laid out PCBs for a Formula SAE race car.
Since 2018 I've also run @scoobylogic on YouTube — 720+ subscribers, 638k+ views, and a 500+ member Discord — making technical guides with Premiere, Photoshop, and Blender. Documenting builds isn't a side habit; it's half the reason this site exists.
