Digital Portfolio

Edmond Ilbawi

Computer Science student focused on analytical problem solving, decision making, and building practical software systems.

A portfolio can show what I build. 21% Loaded shows the mindset behind the person building it.

At 21, I see myself as 21% loaded: not complete, not fully wise, but shaped by 21 reflections that taught me how to think, grow, and keep learning.

BEYOND THE PORTFOLIO / VERSION 21

Before the work, there is the mindset.

The projects are visible. Underneath them are five roots: the lessons, habits, and reflections that shaped how I think at 21.

The person behind the work

A quieter look at what I study, how I think, and the foundation that shaped my direction.

About

How I think, learn, and grow

I am a Computer Science student at the University of Balamand, interested in software engineering and building meaningful digital solutions.

Through university, projects, and conversations with people around me, I have learned that growth is not only academic. It also comes from perspective, curiosity, discipline, and the willingness to keep learning.

Case Study 02

Operating Systems Project

Secure Multi threaded Banking System

Built a concurrent banking simulator in C using POSIX threads, named FIFOs, and per-account mutex synchronization to handle multiple client requests while protecting account operations from race conditions.

  • Used public and private named FIFOs with a worker thread per request for client-server communication.
  • Protected deposits, withdrawals, and transfers with per-account mutexes and ordered locking.
  • Implemented salted SHA-256 authentication and encrypted account balance storage with OpenSSL.
