DHAHAB · Work With Me
I'm Yusuf Gadelrab — a CS undergraduate at San José State University (BS, May 2028), co-author of an ACM SIGCSE TS 2026 poster abstract, and the sole builder of every project on this site. Recruiters: I'm interviewing for Summer 2027 SWE, AI/ML, quant and data-science internships. Founders: I take a small number of solo build engagements — automation, AI tooling, internal tools.
Either way the first step is the same email, and I answer it myself.

01 · For Recruiters
Canadian citizen studying at SJSU. Ask me about work authorization directly and I will put my exact status in writing before you spend time on interviews. Open to relocation.
If you are a student reading this rather than hiring: I wrote up the parts that took me longest to work out — landing a SWE internship as an international student, checking whether a posting actually sponsors, building a portfolio that gets interviews, and getting a resume through an ATS.
Target roles: software engineering, AI/ML, fintech and quantitative finance, data science, product/strategy, and developer advocacy. Stack: Python, Java, JavaScript, SQL, React, full-stack, RAG/LLMs, local models via Ollama. Relocate OK: San Francisco, Remote, New York City, Seattle, Austin, Toronto.
02 · For Founders & Businesses
Solo end to end: I scope it, build it, and ship it myself, on local models where I can — no per-token bill, no handoff to someone you've never met.
An AI back-office clerk for small freight brokerages: reads the billing/AR inbox and drafts every reply on a local model. $999 one-time setup + $249/mo, 3-day install, 14-day setup-fee-back guarantee.
Headline, About, metric-first bullets and keyword mapping, rebuilt to convert instead of just list. $97, or $249 with a first month of ghostwritten posts.
ATS-safe resume rebuild for $49, or $99 with 10 fully tailored applications. Built from the same application system I use on my own search.
Twelve black-and-gold template packs — investor decks, slide libraries, client proposals, brand guidelines — built to be used, not admired.
Outside those four: email a brief. If it's a good fit for a solo builder — a script, an internal tool, an automation, a small full-stack build — I'll say so honestly, and say so just as honestly if it isn't.
Three lines is enough. No form, no discovery-call funnel.
Before you email
Answered up front so nobody has to spend an email finding out.
Within two business days, from me, not a template. Put what you need in the first line and I can answer it in one round instead of four. If it isn't a fit I say that in the reply rather than going quiet.
The work is checkable, which is the point of this whole site. A freight brokerage's full finance workflow load, with a passing regression suite, shipped against its live inbox. DIRA v1.5.0: 208 passing tests, zero dependencies, MIT-licensed on GitHub. A peer-reviewed ACM SIGCSE TS 2026 poster abstract. 60 published guides and three installable offline PWAs, live right now. Every number links to where it came from.
I'd rather you hear it from me than find out from a screening form. I'm a Canadian citizen studying at San José State University. Work authorization is the one thing on this page I won't summarise in a slogan, because the accurate answer depends on the role, the start date and the immigration route I'm on at the time. Email me and I'll put my exact current status in writing before either of us invests in an interview loop.
03 · How I actually work
Six pieces of work, each with the number that makes it checkable.
See it all — including the trading strategies that failed walk-forward validation and the ones that stayed off this site because they didn't hold up — in the writing or the full apps & projects index.
FAQ
The seven that come up most, answered before you have to ask.
Yes — software engineering, AI/ML, fintech and quantitative finance, data science, product/strategy, and developer advocacy. Open to SF, Remote, NYC, Seattle, Austin, Toronto. Work authorization: ask directly and I will confirm my exact status in writing.
Yes, solo — he scopes, builds and ships it himself. Productised options above; anything else, email a brief and he'll say honestly whether it's a fit.

Yes — that runs through the media kit, with audience numbers and past collaborations, not through this page.
Ask him directly. He is a Canadian citizen studying at SJSU, and the accurate answer depends on the role, the start date and the immigration route he is on at the time — so he will confirm his exact current status in writing rather than post a slogan here that might be out of date by the time you read it.
Within two business days, written by him rather than a template. If it is not a fit he says so in the reply instead of going quiet.
