I build machines that think, systems that remember, and stories that keep you up at night.
A robotics engineer at WPI.
A founder building an AI that remembers.
An operator at a firm that has placed 15,000 students.
The lead in a horror film Pakistan hadn’t tried before.
Same person. Different reels.
Each layer keeps working when the one above it fails. Go on — try to make him unsafe.

The screen is wired to the body chip, not the Pi — so he can still show a fault when his brain is dead. Ion blue means attention. Red means faults, and only faults.
Frontier API for the hard reasoning. A local model for private work and as the fallback when the network isn’t there.
Tools run in a separate child process. Execution moved out; authorisation never did — the gate and the audit stay in the hub.
Every action is logged with what was planned and what actually happened. Reversible classes carry their inverse.
Each action is costed as it runs, so a long job can’t quietly burn money in the background.
Phase gates are scored by a command, not a feeling. One measured run: a three-hour operation with 110 distinct updates.
A change is built on a second ERIS, proven by her own tests, and promoted only on the numbers — with the old body kept for rollback.

Coursework, treated like product work. Every piece below ran on real hardware or real math.
A VEX V5 robot that navigates a set course, finds fruit with a camera, harvests it and delivers it to a basket — fully autonomous, built from modular subsystems.
Forward kinematics derived by hand, then inverse kinematics, a time-stepped simulation loop and a custom wireframe renderer. No robotics libraries. This panel is that math running live — drag the target, or use the arrow keys.
Where it’s headed: an arm clipped to the side of my desk that picks up stationery and drops my phone on its charger.
Modular Python classes: a DriveTrain for motor and IMU control, a GridWorld for mapping and pathfinding, and a PathDriver for node-to-node driving.
Paint walls. Drag S and G. Watch it search the map, commit to a path, and drive it one node at a time.
Real-time microcontroller programs in embedded C/C++: sensors, actuators, PWM, ADC, I²C and interrupt-driven control. Low-level hardware behaviour debugged at the waveform; circuits drawn in KiCad.
Slide the duty cycle: the square wave is what the pin does; the cyan trace is what the motor feels.
Three tools, one habit: parameters first. Parts, assemblies, drawings and motion studies — the same muscle that turns Rocky’s CadQuery model into a SOLIDWORKS rebuild.
A tower arm on the Romi. An MG996R servo drives the lift through a 25-tooth pinion into 50-tooth gears cut into the arm links — a 2:1 reduction. A four-bar linkage keeps the gripper level on the way up; an SG90 closes it. The shelf, cubes and Romi are in the model as reference so every reach is checked in CAD first.
A world that lost its human voices. Only a pulse lights the dark.
A short atmospheric exploration game: one dense mountain valley, a silent world, and a listener who can still be heard.
AI DISCLOSURE — Concept art made with AI image tools under my art direction, used as modelling reference. Every word of the story is mine.
Pakistan’s first POV horror film. I produced it and played the lead.
People, process and paperwork that holds when nobody’s watching.
I rebuilt how the firm runs: a Marketing OS and an Organization OS — 31 documents across four departments, decision rights that keep authority where it belongs, a career ladder from hire to exit, and a logging system of eight register workbooks so every report line points at evidence.
On the partnership side: transnational outreach and MoU pipelines with overseas universities, and the firm’s 14-slide institutional deck rebuilt from flattened source files into a fully editable presentation on a custom design system.
Builds intelligent machines — and the people who build them. Robotics and AI, Pakistan first. I architect its systems, write the specs, and review every dependency’s licence before it ships.
Institutional research under a faculty supervisor: data collection, analysis and written documentation across a two-month on-site placement.
Grab one. Throw it. Each is honest about its level.

No robots were harmed in the making of this site. Several were exploded.
Internships, research, collaborations, press — or you just want to argue about robot names. I read everything.
