I've helped over 70k people understand AI through workshops, a newsletter with 50k readers, and a podcast where I talk to the people shaping this space. Before that, I built computer vision systems and worked with data science teams at companies like Mark Cuban's.

I've been in AI since 2016, long before the current boom, starting at UC Berkeley studying ML. I also failed my first coding class in college and fought my way through learning Python. That's probably why I can explain this stuff. I had to break it down to learn it myself.

I got here from a poultry farm in Maryland. My family immigrated from Pakistan when I was five. My uncle drove a cab in New York for twenty years, and when ridesharing hit, he lost everything. I was in ML at the time, watching the same technology reshape my career. That gap is why I teach.

I'm a first-gen college grad and Gates Scholar. Everything I do comes back to bridging worlds: immigrant and American, blue-collar and tech, the people building AI and the people trying to keep up.
