Mohamed Yusuf Kathree

Motivated and detail-oriented Computer Science student at the University of the Western Cape with hands-on experience in web development, software engineering, and physics-based simulations. Proficient in Python, Java, C, C++, and Assembly, with a strong foundation in data structures, algorithmic design, and mathematical modeling. Passionate about solving real-world problems through technology, and currently developing a peer-review and tutoring platform for university students.

Mathematics Background
Studied calculus (single/multivariable), vector calculus, differential equations, sequences and series, linear algebra, and complex numbers. Covered abstract algebra (groups, rings, fields), modular arithmetic, mathematical logic and proof techniques. Applications included integration in multiple coordinate systems, vector fields, and transformations in higher dimensions.

Physics Background
Covered classical mechanics, waves, electricity and magnetism, atomic and nuclear physics, modern physics, and quantum mechanics. Topics included Newtonian dynamics, electromagnetism, SHM, circuits, thermodynamic laws, nuclear decay, quantum theory, and relativity. Emphasis on mathematical methods, lab work, and computational physics.

• Currently completing a crash course in electronics and PCB design to better understand computers at the lowest level to improve my coding and problem solving skills, as well as a crash course in arduino and microcontroller development to further my embedded systems engineering skills. Each of these courses contain approximately 100hrs of content. Therefore it is quite intensive.
