🚀 From Student to Engineer: My Journey into Applied AI, Voice Assistants, and Beyond

Hi DEV community! 👋

I'm Mohamed Riham, a passionate Software Engineering student and AI developer based in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰.

I've spent the past few years immersed in building real-world applications that bridge academic learning with hands-on experience — and I’d love to share a bit about my journey here.

💡 What I Do

• 🎓 Software Engineering Student at BCAS Campus
• 💼 Software Engineer Intern at SoftXpertz
• 👨‍🏫 Web Developer at Axis Academy

🛠️ Projects I’m Proud Of

Voice Assistant "EDITH"

• Rule-based + AI-enhanced personal assistant using speech recognition, fuzzy matching, and edge-tts voice responses — built from scratch in Python.

Sales Data Analysis Dashboard

• A full Streamlit & Flask Python app built for Sampath Food City, applying SOLID principles, design patterns (Factory, Singleton, Observer), and deep insights into product performance.

Face Recognition Attendance System

• A full student tracking system with QR scanning, facial recognition, real-time alerts to parents, and a local dashboard — with an emphasis on scalability and modularity.

Credit Card Fraud Detection Research

• A comparative big data study on Random Forest vs. XGBoost, analyzing their performance for fraud detection with real-world datasets.

🎯 What I Write About

• Clean Code & Design Patterns in Python
• Applied AI and ML for Real-World Use Cases
• Building Voice Interfaces and Assistive Tech
• Full-Cycle Student Projects with Professional Touch
• From Research to Production in Data Science
