The road here — Said Madi

Photographs from the years behind the work — where things started and what they turned into.

University, and the friends I found there

My first days at university, where I met the friends who mattered. The best of them was Yasser Arafat Al-Tartouri. He was killed in the war.

The day I went and rented a desk at the Gaza Sky Geeks coworking space. That is where my real programming journey began.

I took the Full-Stack JavaScript Engineering training at the GSG Code Academy.

After finishing the training I came back as a Full-Stack instructor, teaching four trainees of my own — C.A-Team 7, June 2023.

Beautiful moments at the Gaza Sky Geeks workspace — the corridor, the coffee table, the desks, and a day at the beach with everyone.

The team at Metafore, where I work on AI-native platforms.

Away from the screen: I love nature and animals, and the family farm is where I go back to.

I always find all my inspiration in green places — the ones taken from us after the war.

Sport is life.

I had a pet, and his name was Vladimir. 😄

And now I am displaced, living in Deir al-Balah — in Al-Zawayda.
