Yousif Amanuel is a PhD researcher, engineer, and maker whose work circles a single instinct: making powerful tools accessible to people who shouldn’t need a command line to use them. At Leibniz University Hannover, his doctoral research focuses on computer science, AI, and machine learning education, using block-based programming to make these subjects approachable for learners. Outside academia, he is the creator of Terraink, an open source web app that turns OpenStreetMap data into printable city map posters and reached 1 million users in two months with zero marketing. He recently shipped Clawd Mochi, an open source ESP32 desk companion inspired by the Claude mascot, which picked up 200+ GitHub stars in two weeks. He served two years as president of the Erasmus Student Network at his university and shares his projects with around 27,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok. Outside of code, Yousif procrastinates productively: he started Terraink to procrastinate his PhD, then started Clawd Mochi to procrastinate Terraink. He is a relentless DIY learner who cuts his own hair, prints his own T-shirts, and rarely meets a new skill he doesn’t want to try for himself. He also speaks four languages fluently.
