I'm Dr Saad Attieh

Founder, AI Researcher and High-performance software developer

My career spans from theoretical AI research to practical high-performance software development. During my PhD in Constraint Programming at the University of St Andrews, I developed novel approaches to complex optimisation problems across vehicle routing, shift scheduling, resource allocation, and supply chain management. My research culminated in ATHANOR, a constraint local search solver that outperforms existing solutions like Google’s OR-tools on large-scale problems through innovative dynamic scaling constraint techniques.

High-Performance Software Developer

In financial markets where microseconds translate directly to competitive advantage, a comprehensive understanding of the entire tech stack is crucial. I have experience designing and maintaining both low-level C++/Rust applications and high-level multi-service, distributed systems.

Agents, LLMs and Automation

Through my ventures Fielder and SmartRev, I’ve developed sophisticated AI agents for lead nurturing, appointment setting, sales automation, and staff management. This work has expanded into consulting, where I help businesses implement AI solutions to streamline their operations—from automated procurement to intelligent customer service systems.

Only a Human

Beyond technology, I find joy in playing piano, maintaining an active lifestyle at the gym, and exploring the culinary arts. I’m always open to discussing challenging technical problems or potential collaborations. Feel free to reach out.
