A polyglot monorepo of full-fledged engineering projects — spanning compiler construction, game development, AI/ML systems, and systems-level programming. Built by Muhammad Awais, AI Engineer & Managing Director at AI GenMat, and BS Artificial Intelligence student at FAST-NUCES Peshawar.
Each sub-project here bridges computer science theory with real-world implementation — written in C++, Python, or both. Every project is self-contained with its own source, build system, and documentation.
💡 Where the prototypes live:
C_Cpp_PracticeandPython_Projectsare where the day-to-day exercises, drills, and early-stage prototypes are built and tested. Once an idea matures past the prototype stage — a working compiler pipeline, a playable game, a deployable AI system — it graduates here, into this repository, as a complete, documented, full-fledged project.
The stack below mirrors exactly what's showcased on my portfolio — every technology I actively build with.
