About

Hi there 👋

My name is Saad and I’m currently a sophomore majoring in Computer Science at New York University in NYU's Abu Dhabi campus. I'm passionate about bridging the gap between engineering and design — combining my keen eye for design with my technical knowledge to craft something beautiful.

When I'm not in front of my computer, I'm probably reading a new book, playing video games, or learning something new. Currently, I'm delving into React Development, UI Design, and 3D Modelling.

I’m always down for hearing about new projects, so feel free to drop me a line.
