My story begins with self-exploration.
Hi, my name is Ahmad Hassan, a final year computer science student at the University of Management and Technology. Born and raised in a city that talks through its finest culture, history, literature and people. Talking about Lahore, the city of gardens, of a beautiful country often misunderstood by the world but always welcoming to all the world and its people, Pakistan.
I have always been a student who got most of his learning through self exploration and lessons I got out of classes, from Professor Internet (I love to call it Prof. Int), who talks to me through my laptop.
Till reaching the end of my third year, Prof. Int developed in me a great interest in research and sharing my findings with the world, like the work I share on this site. I got fascinated by topics like Applied AI, Quantum Computing and Biocomputing, and thus currently spend the majority of my time authoring papers on these topics.
After graduating from college, I was very much confident about my field but had no clue what this field is at its core. So I started my bachelors with the same unknowingness, which stayed with me till my first year.
After that I got to know about the hackathons and societies that exist in my university, so I drifted toward them. By reaching my final year, I had participated in 7 hackathons across the country, out of which I won 5 and always remained in the top 3 in all the hackathons I participated in. And yeah, I served at almost all the tech clubs and societies at an executive level in this period, with acknowledgements from the university.
At this point, when you are reading this, I'll be looking for a new reason to build that keeps me hooked for the next few days (I just finished my last project).
Outside of this, when Prof. Int gets some latency issues, I shift to my alter self. Introducing myself again, but this time not as a techy nerd, but as an artist.
Yes, I'm currently not so popular as an artist, but I do music, mostly electronic but also instrumental when guilt hits. I'm also a writer who puts down stories that were once in my head. I read as well, from literature to fiction, from philosophy to psychology.
I do all this at Pak Tea House (including writing this bio). I don't know why, but whenever I leave home I always end up there, maybe because of its atmosphere, its historical importance to culture or literature, or maybe just because of its cheap tea, which is rich at its core.
If you ever feel like seeing me, your first bet should be this place.
Well, feels like I've become successful in writing this, as you've reached till here. Thanks for visiting my site. All the writings and work I publish here are curated with the best of my research and reasoning with Prof. Int, so it's highly recommended to give it a read. And if you'd like to give any suggestion, highlight some point, or just want to have a talk about books, then here you go, feel free to reach out to me here (or via LinkedIn).
Hope my writings and work will help you in advancing your knowledge.
Xo, and Free Palestine 🇵🇸.
