Making AI trustworthy enough to sit beside a hospital bed, without ever touching the cloud.

I started on the defensive side, watching network traffic at a news broadcaster, learning to tell a real intrusion from noise. That instinct for what could go wrong followed me into teaching, and now into research.

Today I'm a PhD researcher at Universitat Rovira i Virgili, part of the Smart Technologies Research Group, working on secure, privacy-preserving AI/ML on edge devices for eldercare and healthcare systems, deploying intelligence that's fast, offline-capable, and never has to phone home with someone's medical data.

In between, I've taught at three universities in Pakistan, managed security labs, run outreach programs with organizations like AWS Community and ITCN Asia, and sat on the editorial board of Deep Science.
