Tayyeb Israr — Software Engineer
Second Year BSc Computer Science | Software Engineer Second-year BSc Computer Science student at the University of Leeds, passionate about building and optimising software from low-level systems to full-stack applications. I enjoy tackling performance-critical problems and exploring how design, efficiency, and usability come together in real systems. I’ve gained hands-on experience through both internships and personal projects. As a Research Software Engineer intern during my first year at university, I developed a high-performance arbitrary-precision arithmetic library in C using compiler intrinsics, benchmarking it on HPC systems and designing a modular interface for numerical computing workflows. My projects span a range of problem domains and technologies, including: - An AI-powered PDF-to-flashcard web application using NLP (Django, WIP) - A performance-focused arbitrary-precision arithmetic library in C using compiler intrinsics - SIMD-accelerated image filtering using SSE2/AVX2 in C++ - Systems-level Linux kernel module development in C - A full-stack nutrition and recipe web application using Flask, SQLite, and USDA FoodData Central APIs - A responsive personal portfolio built with React and TailwindCSS (tayyebisrar.com) I’m motivated by solving challenging engineering problems and creating software that is both technically rigorous and useful. I’m particularly interested in systems programming, performance optimisation, and scalable backend development.
