I live in Islamabad, having grown up in Gilgit in the northern mountains of Pakistan. I am completing my bachelor's degree in Software Engineering at SZABIST Islamabad, graduating in early 2027. I mostly work in Node.js, Python, and PostgreSQL, usually on backend systems and AI engineering. I like programming, hiking in the Karakoram, and building and breaking things.
Books and papers I keep returning to: Attention Is All You Need, Designing Data-Intensive Applications, Hands-On Large Language Models, AI Engineering, and various technical blogs.
