I study medicine at Aga Khan University and work across clinical research, software, and science education. I started with biology competitions and astronomy; these days I move between research, tools, and teaching.
Science competitions. Telescopes. Medicine. Code.
Science competitions and astronomy came first. I spent two semesters studying natural and computational sciences at Minerva University before moving into medicine at Aga Khan University. Since then, my work has taken me through clinical training, research, and the day-to-day work of running a national science competition.
I like projects that connect fields: research workflows, software for learning, and teaching that helps people get started. This site is a record of that work, the people I have learned from, and the things I still want to build.
Outside work: Squash, Horseback archery, Playing the rubab.
MBBS studies and clinical clerkships across medical and surgical specialties.
Basic sciences: anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, histology, embryology, pathology, pharmacology, microbiology, immunology and community health sciences.
Full recordCompleted two semesters of study in computational and natural sciences; Minerva scholarship recipient. Subsequently moved into medicine at AKU.
Coursework: Multimodal Communications; Complex Systems; Formal Analyses; Empirical Analyses; Managing Complexity of a Global World. Intended double major in natural and computational sciences; two semesters completed.
