The things I’m building — where the engineering and the ideas meet.
AegisSwarmFlagshipAutonomous swarm defense.
A platform for distributed, human-in-the-loop response — coordinating autonomous systems that stay reliable under adversarial conditions. The core of my work in defense technology.
SaddA barrier between you and the scroll.
A focus app built in Hattiesburg with intention — a deliberate barrier between you and the infinite feed. Sadd, Inc.
Sadd TechA boutique software studio.
The studio behind the products — donation portals, iPad kiosk flows, and admin dashboards, built on a modern, deliberately brutalist stack.
ConferGiving, made effortless.
Donation infrastructure for community organizations — online donor checkout and an iPad kiosk flow, from a single system.
EstrahGOTS-certified organic cotton.
An organic cotton garment brand, vertically manufactured in Punjab, Pakistan — retail and wholesale, GOTS-certified (CU-843812).
InfinixLeverageOperations, not theatrics.
Operations Director — client success, delivery systems, and the organizational plumbing that keeps it shipping.
Card discounts and digital banking incentives in Pakistan look like consumer benefits, but they are the opening move of a state playbook to formalize the informal economy and build permanent financial surveillance infrastructure.
This essay argues that what separates stronger from weaker accounts in Black political thought is not proximity to experience, but whether gender is treated as structurally constitutive of the analysis—comparing Cooper, Wells, and Du Bois.
Using World Values Survey data across three waves, this paper examines whether individual religiosity became a stronger predictor of political participation in Pakistan after the fall of Musharraf's secular military regime.
A comparison of how Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison each envision a world free of racial hierarchy — and why Morrison's vision is the most plausible.
An exploration of how art has historically reflected dissent, challenged injustice, and exposed the impacts of American political decisions.
I work at the intersection of technology, statecraft, and security — building systems, technical and institutional, that operate reliably under adversarial conditions.
I’m a dual-degree Computer Science and Political Science student at the University of Southern Mississippi and the founder of AegisSwarm. Alongside it I build Sadd, Confer, and Estrah, and serve as Operations Director at InfinixLeverage. I also serve as Vice President and Imam at the Islamic Center of Hattiesburg.
I write essays on power, order, and the political economy of emerging technology. Across all of it, I care about one thing: work that must actually hold.
