A student in Riyadh, drawn to the places where business, technology, and responsibility meet.
- My name is Muhammad Subhan. I am a Pakistani student living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, currently studying International A Levels at Al-Rowad International Schools. I have completed my IGCSEs and am studying Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science. My present academic work is the foundation for what I hope to do next: pursue a career in corporate and commercial law.
- Aviation was an important early direction for me. Courses in crew management, aviation management, and aircraft design gave that curiosity a structure. Industry events brought another dimension: hearing people talk about operations, coordination, and technology made it easier to see how many disciplines contribute to one outcome.
- My LinkedIn record includes courses across business and aviation, student volunteering, and reflections from events in Riyadh. At Black Hat MEA I explored cybersecurity. At Money20/20 I found myself asking about identity, authorisation, and the infrastructure behind AI-enabled commerce. At the UNESCO forum, the conversation shifted from technical capability to governance and accountability.
- My LinkedIn profile lists Education, Science and Technology, Human Rights, Economic Empowerment, Environment, and Animal Welfare among the causes I care about. These are interests and values in my profile, rather than claims that I hold a formal role in an organisation working on them.
- I am at the beginning of this journey. My goal is to become more capable through academic discipline, thoughtful reading, clear communication, and practical experience appropriate to my stage. I want my confidence to grow alongside evidence, rather than run ahead of it.
The person behind the portfolio
My name is Muhammad Subhan.
I am a Pakistani student living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, currently studying International A Levels at Al-Rowad International Schools. I have completed my IGCSEs and am studying Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science. My present academic work is the foundation for what I hope to do next: pursue a career in corporate and commercial law.
The thread connecting my interests is a desire to understand what sits behind the visible result.
Read the deeper context
An airport looks orderly until you start asking about the teams and decisions that keep it running. An AI demonstration looks impressive until you ask who is responsible when something goes wrong. A business announcement becomes more interesting when you ask how the company will turn an idea into a useful product.
How my interests have evolved
Aviation was an important early direction for me.
Courses in crew management, aviation management, and aircraft design gave that curiosity a structure. Industry events brought another dimension: hearing people talk about operations, coordination, and technology made it easier to see how many disciplines contribute to one outcome.
My current direction is corporate law, particularly mergers and acquisitions and private equity.
Read the deeper context
That change does not erase the earlier learning. It gives me a different way to connect it. I am increasingly interested in how organisations make decisions, how people allocate responsibility, and how commercial ambitions interact with the rules and systems around them.
Learning beyond the classroom
My LinkedIn record includes courses across business and aviation, student volunteering, and reflections from events in Riyadh.
At Black Hat MEA I explored cybersecurity. At Money20/20 I found myself asking about identity, authorisation, and the infrastructure behind AI-enabled commerce. At the UNESCO forum, the conversation shifted from technical capability to governance and accountability.
I also enjoy expressing what I notice through writing.
Read the deeper context
A useful reflection should do more than say that an event was interesting. It should explain what changed my understanding, identify a question worth pursuing, and distinguish an observation from a conclusion. The journal in this portfolio develops that habit.
Values beyond a career title
My LinkedIn profile lists Education, Science and Technology, Human Rights, Economic Empowerment, Environment, and Animal Welfare among the causes I care about.
These are interests and values in my profile, rather than claims that I hold a formal role in an organisation working on them.
Education connects directly to the stage of life I am in.
Read the deeper context
Technology connects to the questions I continue to explore, while the wider causes are a reminder that decisions have a human and social context beyond their immediate result.
The standards I want to develop
I am at the beginning of this journey.
My goal is to become more capable through academic discipline, thoughtful reading, clear communication, and practical experience appropriate to my stage. I want my confidence to grow alongside evidence, rather than run ahead of it.
This portfolio records that process.
Read the deeper context
It brings together completed learning, lived experiences, language development, and the questions shaping my direction. I hope it gives a clearer picture of how I think and what I am working towards than a list of titles could provide.
