About

I'm a software engineering graduate from NUST, where I finished as gold medalist with a 3.91 CGPA. Most of my research has been on EEG, classifying pathology in it and generating diagnostic reports from it.

I work on Arch Linux in Neovim and tmux, which is about as much of a setup as I want. Away from the keyboard I'm usually solving a cube, drawing, playing chess, or working through a maths problem.
