Hi there, I’m Aaqel.

I'm an aspiring computer scientist interested in XR visualization and AI-assisted 3D-model generation. I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Computer Science at the University of Illinois, Chicago (UIC), where I work part-time as a researcher at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL). When I’m not coding (or procrastinating), I enjoy playing video games, reading books, and writing.

What I’m Currently Working On

  • Exploring inverse kinematics solvers and digital twins development with NVIDIA Omniverse.
  • A general-purpose 3D scene composer powered by LLMs, where an AI assembles environments from structured shape primitives using natural language prompts.
  • Learning Javascript by building a cache-replacement policy visualizer.

Stuff I do

  • C/C++
  • Python
  • Swift
  • Java
  • Creative and Technical Writing
