ABOUT
My name is Ahmed Elsheshtawy. I am an Electrical Engineering student at Qatar University on an Admission Scholarship. with a strong interest in practical applications of communication systems and power electronics. I am currently in the early stages of my Electrical Engineering degree and look forward to developing deeper expertise in communication systems and power electronics as I progress through my coursework. Additionally, I am quite interested in exploring how electrical engineering connects with other disciplines, especially mechanical engineering, to develop innovative, real-world solutions.

NI'MA
Ni'ma (نعمة) is our start-up. The platform connects people with surplus food from Qatar's best restaurants at up to 70% off before it goes to waste. I built the full-stack system behind it — the customer mobile app, the restaurant partner dashboard, the admin dashboard, and the Backend that powers the whole operation. Read more at nima.qa.

WEB DEVELOPMENT
Humanitarian AI Observatory
December 2025
I developed a full-stack observatory that was part of a collaboration between Qatar University and the British Embassy in Qatar. The observatory features aggregation of many Ethical AI Policies, Case Studies, and Resources. In addition, it includes Data & Analytics of important trends regarding the growth of Humanitarian AI in the MENA region. There is also Musaaed, your personal AI Assistant that will help you overall with your experience. The website also features AI scraping and an Admin Page to manage pending content.
Masdar QU (Qatar University Educational Content)
December 2025
I developed Masdar, a comprehensive educational content platform for Qatar University. This platform allows users to browse courses, view detailed course information, and submit new educational content and resources. The application features a clean, intuitive interface with dedicated sections for course browsing, course details, and content submission.

EXPLANATIONS
Fundamentals of Electric Circuits Notes
March 2026These are the notes I kept while working through my Fundamentals of Electric Circuits course. I start with how to count nodes, branches, and loops, then move through KCL and KVL, voltage and current dividers, and Wye to Delta transformations before getting into Thevenin equivalents and operational amplifier circuits. The last few pages cover the AC side, where I go over phasors, impedance, and why the current lags the voltage by 90 degrees in an inductor. I tried to write each part the way I would explain it to a classmate who missed the lecture.
Machine Learning Condensed Course Notes
January 2026I put these together during the condensed Machine Learning course I took at Qatar University. They cover the three types of learning, the forward pass of a neural network, and how activation functions and softmax turn raw scores into a probability distribution. From there I work through loss functions, gradient descent, and how backpropagation uses the gradient of the cost with respect to every weight and bias, and I finish with deep computer vision and why convolution and pooling handle images better than a fully connected network.
Physics II Notes on Electricity and Magnetism
April 2026These are my notes from Physics II, the electricity and magnetism course. I begin with continuous charge distributions and Gauss's law, including a plain argument for why the flux through a closed surface does not depend on its shape, then move into electric potential, current and drift velocity, and the magnetic field of a current carrying wire from the Biot-Savart law. The final chapters deal with inductance and RLC circuits, where I connect the impedance triangle and AC power back to the phasor picture.
Aircraft Launcher
July 2026Ever wondered how a fighter jet goes from 0 to 250 km/h in just 2 seconds? In this video, I break down the electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EALS), and trace it all the way back to F = IL × B, the fundamental force law governing current-carrying conductors in magnetic fields. I also explored briefly the use of the same concept in Rail Guns, which is a pretty interesting technology.
Why does Integration Yield Area Under the Curve?
June 2026Actually, its much simpler than you think. It all starts with an inequality that states that the actual area is bigger than the lower limit's area, and is smaller than the higher limit's area. After that, its just a pattern skill to know that you should take the limit of h going to 0.
Making a Machine Learning Model on a WhiteBoard
June 2026This tutorial walks you through the process of creating a simple machine learning model on a whiteboard. This model is a simple line with slope m and y-intercept b (bias). In this explanation video, I dive deep into how this connects with real world models, like Computer Vision for example.
Gradients & Their Machine Learning Applications
June 2026Gradients are a fundamental concept in mathematics and machine learning, representing the rate of change of a function with respect to its input variables. In machine learning, gradients are used in optimization algorithms like gradient descent to update model parameters and minimize loss functions.
What is Node Voltage?
June 2026Node voltage is the voltage difference between a node and a reference point (usually ground) in an electrical circuit. It's a fundamental concept in circuit analysis, particularly when using nodal analysis to solve complex circuits. However, it is often not explained clearly in introductory courses. I explained it clearly in descriptive terms.
Why do we use Imaginary Numbers in AC Circuit Analysis?
May 2026Where did Imaginary Numbers Come From in AC Circuit Analysis? Watch as I uncover the mathematical origins and practical applications of imaginary numbers in alternating current (AC) circuit analysis.
