Dr. Amjad AbuHassan
Dev with Amjad - Educator & Mentor
An-Najah National University
Most students graduate knowing syntax—not how real software is built. As an Assistant Professor at An-Najah National University and a mentor with over 10+ years of experience, I've seen that the gap between education and industry isn't about talent, but exposure to real-world constraints. Through "Dev with Amjad," I focus on transforming students into job-ready software engineers by building real-world micro-internships and emphasizing engineering thinking over mere tutorials. I specialize in software engineering, algorithms, and micro-internship platforms, helping students solve messy, ambiguous, real-world tasks with professional feedback.
