02 / About

The interesting part begins when an idea meets reality.

I’m Jad, a computer engineering student at Politecnico di Milano. I care about the part after an idea sounds good: making it survive real users, institutional constraints and imperfect data.

That has meant publishing native iOS apps, connecting software to Italian public-sector systems, building a coverage-guided GUI fuzzer and contributing to indoor-tracking research with MIT.

01

Useful first

A clear problem is more valuable than a fashionable stack.

02

Own the details

Interfaces, edge cases and documentation are all part of the product.

03

Ship, then learn

Real feedback beats another week of polishing assumptions.

03 / Background

Work and study, without the inflated résumé language.
