What do I do?
I'm currently exploring and building after directing the Intelligence & ML org at Chipper Cash, where I was engineer #5 at Africa's leading fintech.
There, I pioneered Chipper ID: a full-stack KYC suite built on bare metal for uniquely African anti-fraud challenges, as well as productionizing the first LLM-backed sanctions screening tool. I built out my teams under a full-stack ML philosophy.
Before that, I worked on the Geo Search Ranking team at Google where I drove applied ML projects hitting billions of users across Search, Maps, and Assistant.
Where am I from?
I've lived and traveled throughout the world.
- Grew up in the culturally rich city of Lahore.
- Went to Grinnell College in Iowa, punctuated by a semester abroad in Budapest.
- I now reside in the Bay Area.
- Scouser at heart.
