I am Imad Saddik, I've found my passion at the intersection of electrical engineering, programming, and astronomy. My journey began in electrical engineering, where I spent five years exploring everything about that field.

While I haven't formally studied astronomy at a university, it's been a lifelong fascination. From a young age, I've pursued this interest independently, driven by curiosity and wonder. I'm excited to pursue personal projects in this field, especially astrophotography and other imaging endeavors.

I have a profound love for coding. I find joy in solving problems, building applications, and continuously learning new technologies, and sharing knowledge with others.

I find joy in sharing knowledge and teaching others, and it also serves as an effective way for me to learn new technologies.

I enjoy building and launching full-stack applications that provide value. Here are some of the projects I have brought to life:

	imadsaddik.com I created this website to bring together everything I do online. You will find helpful blog posts about programming, courses I have worked on, and astronomy tutorials if you enjoy space 🌝
	myuniversehub.com A modern and interactive version of NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). I built this project to provide a more visually appealing experience for exploring the wonders of our universe.

I love astrophotography. I enjoy taking pictures of the night sky with my equipment. Here are some of my favorite shots:

	Orion at Bir Tam Tam, Morocco A photo of Orion taken with my Vivo X50 Pro phone.
	The Milky way at Oued Amlil, Morocco A shot of the Milky way core taken with my Canon 1300D.
	Star trails at Oued Amlil, Morocco A long exposure photo capturing the star trails over Oued Amlil.
	Geminids meteor shower at Meknes, Morocco Captured few meteors with my Vivo X50 Pro phone.

I am always open to new opportunities and collaborations. If you are interested in working together or have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.
