About Me

I'm Raad. CS and Data Science at UW–Madison, math minor, originally from Amman, Jordan. I like building things that actually help people, whether that's an AI platform for a government ministry or a simple site that helps you find a charity to donate to.

Huge Arsenal fan. Watching the Premier League is easily my favorite thing to do. I also play tennis and basketball whenever I get the chance, and I DJ on the side for fun.

PL Watch Party

Premier League Watch-Party Finder

2026 · Personal Project

A nationwide matchday finder that helps Premier League fans across the US find where to watch their club play.

  • ✦Nationwide full-stack matchday finder spanning US cities coast to coast, a full 380-fixture Premier League season, 400+ venues, and a 64-group supporters-club directory
  • ✦Automated a full season of fixture syncing from football-data.org through a service-role API route, and ranked 400+ Google Places venues by popularity — removing all manual data entry
  • ✦Anonymous real-time RSVP with live attendance counts over Supabase Realtime
  • ✦Geolocation that auto-selects the nearest city and sorts venues by distance

SmartTransit

Reliability-First Transit Planner

Feb 2026 · MadData25

Built at #MadData25, SmartTransit is a reliability-focused bus planner for UW–Madison's Route 80. Getting to class shouldn't feel unpredictable. Instead of just showing arrival times, SmartTransit helps students answer: When should I leave? Should I walk or take the bus? How crowded will it be? Is the bus actually coming?

  • ✦Leave-By Recommendation — uses schedule + location, live ETAs, crowd risk, ghost bus risk
  • ✦Walk vs Bus comparison for the full route
  • ✦Live map + nearest stop with Madison Metro BusTime API
  • ✦Schedule integration — add classes/events, dashboard stays synced

GoodNeighbor

Charity Directory

Nov 2025 · Founder

GoodNeighbor is a charity directory built to make donating simpler, safer, and more transparent. When people want to help, the hardest part shouldn't be figuring out where to donate or worrying whether a link is legitimate. This site lets you discover charities by cause and location, read a clear description, and donate directly on the charity's official website.

  • ✦Filter charities by category + country
  • ✦Open the charity's official donation page (we don't process donations)
  • ✦Provide descriptions and key details so people can make informed choices

What it's not: GoodNeighbor never takes a cut and doesn't handle payments — it's strictly a directory that links you to the right place.
