Generative AI & large language models

Mohammed
Hirez.

Exploring how intelligence is built.

AI & Machine Learning student focused on generative AI and large language models, with experience developing AI learning materials, teaching Python labs, and making complex ideas understandable.

Experience

Building foundations
for AI.

Teaching and technical delivery at the University of Limerick: weekly AI laboratories, peer-led Java sessions, and a completed Julia-to-Python curriculum migration.

AI Teaching AssistantCS4171 Programming for AI

University of Limerick · Dept. of Computer Science & Information Systems

Part-time · On-site · Limerick

Teach the weekly laboratories of a six-credit AI module, taking students from AI concepts to structured, working Python.

  • Cover numerical computing in NumPy, data preparation in pandas, visualisation, probability and simulation, matrix and neural-network operations, and model evaluation with scikit-learn.
  • Give individual instruction in debugging and algorithm implementation, helping students turn concepts into working programs.

Peer Learning Leader (Java & Software Development)CS4141 Introduction to Programming · CS4222 Software Development

University of Limerick · ICT Learning Centre

Part-time · On-site · Limerick

Facilitate Java programming and software development sessions at the ICT Learning Centre, supporting CS4141 and CS4222.

  • Develop practical exercises covering object-oriented programming, multi-class architecture, data structures, recursion and file processing. Explore two-dimensional arrays and grid-based algorithms as foundations for image representation and processing.
  • Guide participants through program analysis, modular design and systematic debugging, strengthening their ability to develop structured, maintainable software through collaborative problem solving.

AI Curriculum DeveloperCS4171 Programming for AI

University of Limerick · Dept. of Computer Science & Information Systems

Part-time · Hybrid · Limerick

Redeveloped the university's Programming for Artificial Intelligence module by migrating the full curriculum from Julia to Python.

  • Designed and implemented lectures, laboratory exercises, programming projects, datasets, and executable code examples using NumPy, pandas, Matplotlib, scikit-learn, numerical computing, data preprocessing, probability and simulation, matrix and neural-network operations, algorithmic problem solving, performance optimisation, and machine-learning model evaluation.
  • Validated code, dependencies, outputs, and lab workflows for technical accuracy, reproducibility, and compatibility before release to students.
