Yusuf Gadelrab is a computer science student at San José State University (BS Computer Science, expected May 2028), an AI/ML builder, and co-author of a peer-reviewed computer science education poster abstract at the SIGCSE Technical Symposium 2026 poster abstract and a SIGCSE Virtual 2026 paper. He is based in San Jose, California, and ships AI tooling, trading research software, and free browser-based utilities in public.
This page is for recruiters weighing a Summer 2027 internship and founders weighing a small build engagement. He's looking for software engineering, AI/ML, quantitative finance, and data-science roles, plus a limited number of solo builds — and every claim below links to where it was first published, so it can be checked rather than trusted.

Co-authored in Dr. Ethel Tshukudu's CS Education Research Lab at San José State University, where I have been an undergraduate researcher since August 2024. Full write-up on the research page.
Exploring Bilingual Coding for Inclusive Computer Science Learning
A mixed-methods study of 60 participants asking whether novices learn programming better when they can read and write code alongside their first language. Reported pre-to-post improvements in confidence, computing identity, enjoyment and motivation, with novices gaining more than experienced programmers.

A computer science student at San José State University (BS Computer Science, expected May 2028) based in San Jose, California. He builds AI tooling, trading research software, and free browser-based utilities in public, and co-authored an ACM SIGCSE TS 2026 poster abstract on computer science education.
A peer-reviewed ACM SIGCSE TS 2026 poster abstract. "Exploring Bilingual Coding for Inclusive Computer Science Learning" (DOI 10.1145/3770761.3777339) is a mixed-methods study of 60 bilingual participants on whether novices learn better when they can read and write code alongside their first language; it reported pre-to-post improvements in confidence, computing identity, enjoyment and motivation, with novices gaining more than experienced programmers. He is also a co-author on "Does Language Matter in Programming? Exploring Student Attitudes and Experiences in a Bilingual Coding Workshop", accepted to the Papers track at SIGCSE Virtual 2026 (12–15 November 2026). Its proceedings are not published yet, so it has no DOI and should be cited by programme link rather than DOI.
FreightDesk AI, an AI back office for small freight brokerages. Swing Screener, a setup screener with a no-lookahead backtest engine. A broker-agnostic execution engine with crash-safe order handling. A set of free browser tools — TradeLog, Cut, Fire, Visa Navigator, Apply OS, freight calculators, and a risk toolkit. And two clothing brands, KXNG SEF and HEFT.
Through IBM SkillsBuild (January–May 2026) he built an NLP sentiment-scoring prototype for equities on IBM Watson, covering ingestion, the NLP pipeline, the scoring model and a dashboard. It was a learning project and was never run in production, so there are no audited performance figures to quote.
Python, Java, JavaScript, and SQL. React and Next.js on the front end. IBM Watson Studio, NLP, retrieval-augmented generation, and local LLMs through Ollama for AI work. uv for Python, Bun for JavaScript. The full working list is on the stack page.
Yes, and there is no signup. Every tool is a static client-side page — no accounts, no backend, no telemetry. Data lives in your browser's local storage on your own device and never leaves it. Three of them install as offline PWAs.
No. He publishes backtests and walk-forward results labelled as such, including the ones that went against him. Walk-forward testing invalidated most of the setups he had been trading: only the anchored-VWAP reclaim survived. An early result over barely a hundred hand-picked trades then failed his own adversarial re-test — the defensible number is +0.117R over 4,933 trades across a 129-symbol, 10-year universe (95% CI +0.057 to +0.174), and most of even that is market drift rather than the signal itself. VCP came out breakeven; a gap and opening-range-breakout proxy came out at −0.28R and was dropped. None of it is financial advice.
Yes — Summer 2027 software engineering, AI/ML, fintech and quantitative finance, data science, product and strategy, and developer advocacy internships, plus a small number of solo build engagements for founders. Work authorization: he confirms his exact current status in writing on request, rather than stating it here where it could go stale. Open to San Francisco, Remote, New York City, Seattle, Austin, and Toronto. Work with me · email him.
