I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia as the child of Pakistani and Afghan immigrants, not exactly a culture known for free speech and open debate. Even then, at 12 years old, I spent much of my time debating religion online. I read A Theory of Justice by Rawls at 16, and found my way into EA and LessWrong communities shortly after.

That interest in truth-seeking led me to study Economics in undergrad, with the goal of pursuing Law School. I took the LSAT in my second year, scored in the 99th percentile, and started building up SupremeLSAT soon after. I thought Law School was the right path, but seeing the progress being made in AI, and knowing my own distaste for zero-sum competitions, I decided to turn down Cornell Law for a career in tech instead.

I currently work as a Data Analyst at Later, connecting Brands and Creators. I am still pursuing truth, but through data rather than arguments. I mostly work on building dbt models that serve as sources of truth, and agentic AI infrastructure so other analysts and stakeholders can access that data easily.

Outside of work, I spend a lot of my time bouldering, going to live theatre shows, visiting museums and art galleries, hosting friends, making cocktails, and reading about Culture, Rationalist Philosophy, and Animal Consciousness.
