ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm Youssof 👋

I'm a Computer Engineering student at the University of Manitoba. I enjoy taking ideas from early design to working systems that bring software and hardware together.

Outside of engineering, you'll usually find me playing soccer, travelling, staying active, or getting way too invested in a side project.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my work :)

Experience

WABTEC
Embedded Systems Engineering Intern
May 2026 – August 2026
Embedded railway software verification, networking, and workflow automation.
- Validated networking and dynamic-memory requirements for embedded railway software, authoring 43 test cases within a 300+ test-case system verification effort.
- Used Linux, Python, Scapy, and packet-level analysis to validate ARP and LLDP behavior, reproduce defects, and perform root-cause analysis.
- Built an IBM CLM → Power BI data pipeline that automated engineering reporting and saved approximately 2–3 hours per week.
- Developed a live Python and Streamlit test-progress dashboard that eliminated 2 weekly meetings and saved approximately 10 engineering hours per week.

WABTEC
Software Test Engineer Intern
May 2025 – August 2025
Embedded hardware/software validation, test automation, and engineering workflow development.
- Built a modular Python migration engine using REST APIs to migrate 455 test cases and 26 test plans from Rally to IBM CLM, delivering the project 4 weeks early and accelerating project onboarding by 57%.
- Re-architected the results-submission pipeline for direct ingestion into IBM CLM, eliminating an entire intermediate tracking system and reducing operational overhead.
- Developed Python-based automated validation workflows using GitLab CI/CD, Selenium, Playwright, and Robot Framework in Linux-based environments.
- Performed hardware and software failure analysis, identifying gold-plating degradation in $7K/unit locomotive control modules and reducing production and field-failure risk.
