Now

I'm Nihad — a software engineer who never managed to keep curiosity inside one lane. I solve physics problems for fun, work through math I was never assigned, and write about whatever survives being thought about carefully: technical concepts, philosophy, economics.

This page is a snapshot of what has my attention right now, in the spirit of /now pages. Last updated August 2026.

Currently

Working through classical mechanics problem sets — variational methods and the strange places they show up.
Reading about mechanism design and how markets compute things.
Building this site, and writing more in public.
