WHO AM I?

Al Saad.

There will always exist a soul, finer and wiser than your own.

Story

Curiosity, Passion, Challenges.

I am a Computer Science and Engineering student at AIUB with a deep fascination for the intersection of technology and entrepreneurship. Beyond that, I am a passionate fictional writer and photographer. I am currently writing my novel, Seventeen, a project that challenges me daily to understand human complexity and refine my narrative skills.

This creative drive extends to my love for photography, which has sharpened my visual sense, attention to detail, and ability to capture moments that communicate powerful stories without words. Ultimately, I aim to combine these multidisciplinary passions to solve real world problems one day.
