Saad Facchine is a Muslim and LGBTQIA+ writer living with his husband. His debut novel, five years in the making, weaves questions of faith, queerness, and technology into a story about choice, control, and love.

By day, Saad works in artificial intelligence and data, helping organizations understand how technology can both empower and constrain us. By night (and many weekends), he writes fiction that bridges those same themes, always searching for the human heart inside the machinery.

When he's not writing or working, you'll probably find him with a cup of chai, planning his next trip, or getting lost in the kind of story that lingers long after the last page.
