I'm currently a master's computer/electrical engineering student at the university of waterloo. I graduated from my bachelor's in computer engineering from toronto metropolitan university (TMU) in april 2025.

i'm interested in a lot of things, but generally i love all things computers. things like computer architecture, soc design & embedded systems really peak my interest. outside of engineering i read a lot of philosophy, which i try to talk about in my blog.

if you need to get to me, email is the quickest way: mhassen@uwaterloo.ca

this website is pure html & css, minimal javascript. i do this for a couple of reasons, but mainly due to compatibility, speed and simplicity.

on here i mainly just share things i find interesting. this includes projects im working on, thoughts on what im reading/studying and just things that i wish to keep for reference. This is usually done in my notes.

i sometimes share small webapps i make for my own use. i remove them when i no longer have a use for them.

its changed quite a bit since its inception, but i originally based the design of this website on something i saw at www.brutalistwebsites.com. unfortunately, i can't find the original inspiration anymore, but if you know the original website please shoot me an email so i can give them credit.

remind me to fill in this section when i've written some more, but i hope to get a blog out every 2 months or so. i currently write my blogs in straight in the html (yes it sucks), but i'll probably transition to some markdown to html converter or static site gen after I get my css setup correctly.
