AI Systems Strategy (For Founders & Operators)
About me
I build the evidence layer that lets AI systems prove what they did —
the logging, provenance and documentation auditors and regulators demand.
Creator of ISNAD, an open-source framework for claim-level provenance in multi-agent AI systems, adapted from isnād–rijāl, the classical hadith
transmission science. Published research (arXiv:2607.24117), reference
implementation on PyPI, MIT licensed.
AI System Architect at SHCV.IT (Estonia). Previously at Motive in Silicon Valley. Founder of Islam & AI — 25,000+ users across 150+ countries. Completing ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor certification, November 2026.
Over the past few years I worked across global engineering roles while
living in Pakistan, at $8k–$12k/month. That taught me something most
engineers never learn: the tech industry is not one market. There is the
local market, and there is the global market, where engineers are valued
on impact rather than geography.
Today I spend my time on three things:
- the evidence and provenance layer for production AI systems
- AI governance readiness — EU AI Act, ISO 42001, SDAIA frameworks
- helping engineers position themselves for the global market
Highlights: Top 0.1% globally in Advent of Code (#1 in Pakistan) · Kaggle Expert, top 1% · products used in 150+ countries · 1,000+ freelance engineering projects since 2017 · Founder Institute graduate.
Outside tech: travelling, and restoring old cars — I rebuilt a 1980 Datsun 120Y.
If you run production AI and someone will eventually ask what it did and how you know — that's the conversation I want.
