I’m Nedaa Ryad. I live in Cairo, where I build the future.

I’ve loved making things for as long as I can remember, and wrote my first program when I was 15 years old, just two weeks after my mom brought home the brand new ThinkPad that I taught myself to type on.

The only thing I loved more than computers as a kid was having an impact. When I was 16, I built a full e-commerce system that ran a full entire business.

I spent the next few summers indoors working on my skills, When I was 21 I joined Enigma and shipped features for a coffee subscription platfrom, GitHub-integrated deployment tool, an AI document intelligence API, a cross-pltaform boxing app, and a quality management system for the Saudi Armed Forces - without onboarding in codebases I have never seen before in four frameworks.

Today, I left Enigma to study graduate-level security, AI, and algorithms, so that I can inovate solutions that will have worldwide impact.
