Cofounder and CIO, Entropy LabsLahore, Pakistan
I build backend and AI systems that have to hold up, and fix the open-source tools I use.
I run product and engineering at Entropy Labs, a team of about a dozen. Most of my time goes to backend and AI systems where a small mistake turns into a wrong balance, a leaked tenant, or an agent doing something costly.
Selected work
Mostly products where a small mistake costs someone real money.
