I’m building Cursor to discover a new way to write code. I owe much of my fun to my friends and MIT. I am extremely excited about the new capabilties of LLMs and applications to code tools.

Previously:

• Studied machine learning, number theory, performance engineering, and theater at MIT.
• Made early contributions to metaphor, an end-to-end LLM powered search engine (before it was cool).
• Worked on translation at IBM Watson ML.
• Ran mask banao, a covid initiative that provided masks to underprivileged people in Pakistan.
• Studied and taught competitive math at the Pakistani math camps. I also represented Pakistan 2016-2018.

Selected Publications:

• "Computing L-Polynomials of Picard Curves from Cartier-Manin Matrices", Mathematics of Computation, 2021.
• "Arithmetic Expression Construction", presented at 2020 International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation.
• "Tetris is NP-Hard Even with O(1) Columns", presented at 2019 Japan Conference on Discrete and Computational Geometry, Graphs & Games (JCDCG^3).
