Safwan Ali

Resourceful Computer Science and Engineering student who is proficient with C++ and Python. Seeking a software engineering internship. Will complete sophomore year at Folsom Lake College in May. Maintained a 4.0 GPA in relevant computer science and C++ courses.

• Machine Learning Genetic Evolution Simulation: Wrote a genetic algorithm based program to simulate 100+ generations of 200 robots traversing a given area trying to survive using behavioral machine learning in C++. Each new generation of robots were given the best 50% of behavioral genes for survival of the previous generation and would also have random mutations in to simulate evolution over time. Average lifespan of a robot increased 60% from first generation to last after simulation.
• Multi-Function Bank Account: Wrote a linked list based data management program to simulate functions of a bank account in C++. Allowed user to deposit and withdraw money, manage account transactions, and display complete bank statements with accurate date and time of completion. Information was written to a file upon termination and upon next use of program, previous information would be read from the file and would be accessible during next use of program.
• Automated Dice Game: Used Python to write a dice roller game which tracks game score and rolls per turn. Players have choice to roll to add to their turn score or stop rolling to add their turn score to their total score. Turn of a player is over when a player rolls a 1 and all turn score points are lost. Automated computer opponent randomly rolls or holds based on previous rolled numbers in their turn. Game is completed when a players total score reaches 200.
