SOFTWARE ENGINEER.
AT THE INTERSECTION OF SCIENCE & SOFTWARE
Hi, I amTaariq Hassan.
Biology. Computation. Human possibility.
Exploring the spaces in between.
A few things I’ve
put into the world.
Thoughts in
the margins.
On theology, religion,
and philosophy.
When the Heart Cannot Raise Its Hands
Al-Ghazālī, al-Qushayrī, Ibn ʿAṭāʾ Allāh, and Ibn ʿAjība on contraction, helplessness, and the prayer of need.
The Hidden Arrogance of the Perfect Plan
On perfectionism, divine decree, and learning to plan without worshipping the outcome.
Forever in Ascent

Not one discipline.
A meeting of many.
I’m a biochemist, researcher, and software engineer based in Dallas. My work moves between experimental drug development, computational research, software engineering, healthcare technology, and technical strategy.
I graduated from Southern Methodist University with a B.S. in Biochemistry specializing in Computer Science. I’m drawn to the places where biology meets computation, clinical systems meet software, and research becomes something people can use.
Beyond the lab and the code, I study history, classical Islamic theology, manuscript traditions, and philosophy, often working directly with Arabic primary sources.
