I’m someone who’s spent most of my life trying to predict the unpredictable.
I was born in Rawalpindi, spent my childhood bouncing between Thailand and Saudi Arabia, then landed in New Zealand for eight years where I was the brown kid who didn’t quite fit. When I moved back to Pakistan, I’d become too whitewashed for my own country. Somewhere between all that displacement, I learned to find patterns where everyone else saw chaos.
Now I build systems that do the same thing.
I’ve trained neural networks to predict Pakistan’s monsoon floods using chaos theory. I’ve built MathBridge, an AI-powered learning app that works offline for kids in rural schools who don’t have reliable internet. I’ve taught fractions to students in Mianwali Qureshian who walked miles through dust to learn. I’ve placed Top 7 nationally in robotics competitions. I’ve researched famine risk modeling and published policy recommendations that actually got read by people who matter.
When I’m not debugging algorithms or reverse-engineering chaos, you’ll find me at the gym (lifting has become my version of meditation), on the cricket pitch captaining my school team, or arguing about whether Babar Azam’s cover drive is actually overrated (it is, fight me). I’m the kind of person who calculates optimal workout splits using statistical analysis and then gets annoyed when my body doesn’t follow the model.
I’m a math geek who sees equations everywhere. The parabolic arc of a cricket ball. The exponential decay of muscle fatigue. The probability distributions hidden in shuffle patterns. Most people see a deck of cards. I see entropy and permutations fighting for dominance.
But here’s what really drives me: the questions that won’t let you sleep.
Why does shuffling a deck seven times guarantee randomness, but six doesn’t? How do algorithms generate “random” numbers when computers are deterministic? Can you predict a flood before the first raindrop falls? What makes a “fair” election mathematically impossible?
This blog is where I chase those questions. I’m not here to make math easier or more digestible. I’m here to make it urgent. To show you the hidden mathematics behind everyday chaos, to reverse-engineer the patterns until something clicks.
Because the best questions aren’t the ones with clean answers. They’re the ones that change how you see the world.
Welcome. Let’s find some patterns together.
