Getting Droid to Work with HyperFrames Studio on Linux
Three fixes to run Droid as a custom agent.

I'm Ahmed Gamal
Most people know me as Gemmy, a software engineer with a AI and backend bias. This is where I keep my projects, writing, videos, experiments, and competitive programming stuff.

About
I spend a lot of my time around software, even when I’m not working. I like experimenting with AI agents, messing with Linux, refining my development setup, and building small tools that make my own workflow better.
Teaching has been a big part of my life for years, mostly around algorithms and competitive programming. I also enjoy writing about things I’m learning, documenting experiments, and turning useful discoveries into something others can reuse.
Outside software, I read a lot, mostly technical books, psychology, and self-development. I drink more coffee than I probably should.
