Building
A decentralized AI platform, in development: one AI model, split across computers people already own, with the work checked. No outside computer joins before a security review.
Researching
How to verify AI computation on consumer hardware you don’t control. Honest machines never compute exactly alike, so every check needs a tolerance, and a careful cheat can try to hide inside it. One paper goes to peer review this month; two more are in preparation.
Talks
Available for seminars and talks on checking AI work done on untrusted hardware.
Work
Building since school.
I started building apps in Dubai while still at school. Since 2023 I’ve been at Amazon in London, where I moved from data science and analytics into engineering.

A Shadow of Time
I built a world, then wrote its music.
Two parallel stories. A mysterious voice shares moments from its life when time stopped, as you cross forests and snowy mountains, solve puzzles and restore time to the world.
01 — The forest path
02 — Snowfields at dusk
