About Me

Hello, I am Sami Melhem

I am currently a senior at Texas A&M University majoring in Computer Science, with an emphasis in Data Science and a minor in Cybersecurity. Earlier in my time at A&M, I built a strong academic foundation in machine learning, big‑data analytics, and AI workflows through coursework and early technical projects. During this period, I was actively involved in the Aggie Coding Club and Aggie Data Science Club, where I contributed to applied projects such as market trend forecasting and data visualization, gaining hands‑on experience working with real‑world data in collaborative environments.

As I moved into my sophomore and junior years, my involvement deepened and my responsibilities grew. I took on a leadership role as a Projects Officer in the Aggie Data Science Club, where I led technical initiatives, managed teams, and helped improve the organization both internally and externally. Alongside this, I joined research and development efforts as a conversational AI developer and undergraduate researcher, while also gaining industry exposure through internships at both startup and enterprise companies. During my junior year, I balanced a heavy course load with serving as a teaching assistant for Data Structures and Algorithms, leading independent and team-based projects, and formally studying machine learning and large language models through research-focused programs. These efforts culminated in contributing to a published research paper analyzing the use of ChatGPT in mechanical engineering education.

Entering my senior year, my focus has shifted toward specialization and long‑term impact. I returned to work with a startup, built and deployed developer tools such as my Notion RAG CLI, and launched my personal website to showcase my work. In parallel, I began creating and contributing to open‑source projects and continued developing a startup idea that originated from my work in the Aggie Data Science Club. Today, I am focused on building scalable internal tools, small language model applications, and AI infrastructure, with the goal of creating practical, user‑centered software that improves productivity and delivers meaningful real‑world impact.
