I'm Akif, a Software Engineering student at the University of New York Tirana. I build things across software, robotics, and hardware — wherever curiosity leads.

My current interests are AI developer tools, computer vision, and embedded systems. I enjoy connecting software with hardware, from camera-based driving experiments to PCB design. Outside those projects, I'm usually customizing my CachyOS / Hyprland setup.

A terminal AI coding assistant with multiple model providers, local tools, and MCP integration. It includes an interactive terminal UI, a headless HTTP server, and an Android companion app.

TypeScript Bun Dart / Flutter

A camera-based driving project combining lane tracking, road-center estimation, and YOLOv8 object detection. It connects vision output to PID steering and speed control, with Arduino communication and a live telemetry interface for testing.

Python OpenCV YOLOv8 Arduino

My Hyprland desktop shell, based on Caelestia. It brings together desktop controls, device management, and network diagnostics, with installation, update, backup, and rollback scripts for keeping the setup manageable across machines.

QML Quickshell Shell Hyprland

Circuit schematics and PCB layouts for robotics and embedded projects. This is the hardware side of my work: designing boards, planning connections, and bringing electronics into the projects I build.

KiCad Circuit Design Embedded Electronics

I'm also working on UGV, a ROS 2 / Gazebo ground vehicle simulation focused on route following and sensor integration.

My hands-on background includes renewable energy, electronics, and the DENEYAP Technology Workshops. I've led teams in TEKNOFEST autonomous vehicle and renewable energy projects, working across software and hardware. Our renewable energy project placed 2nd nationally in the METEK III competition. Those experiences still shape how I approach building and testing things.
