CS @ University of Cincinnati · Building at Oumi

I like figuring out what's happening inside neural nets and building tools that make it easier to find out.

About

Figuring out what's inside the black box

I'm a CS student at the University of Cincinnati (3.99 GPA), originally from Abu Dhabi. Right now I'm at Oumi in Seattle, working on data synthesis and interpretability tools for foundation models.

My research on polysemanticity in language models was accepted at the NeurIPS 2025 Mech Interp Workshop. I also run Bearcat Ventures, UC's $1M student-led venture fund, and co-founded PhizzIO, a CV platform for physical therapy that won a few pitch competitions.

Mechanistic Interpretability

I want to know what's actually going on inside these models — which circuits fire, what features form, and why a model does what it does.

Open-Source AI Tooling

Most of my work at Oumi has been making it easier to train, evaluate, and ship foundation models. I think good infra is what makes good research possible.

Applied ML

I like taking ML into messy real-world domains — physical therapy, clinical notes, music transcription. The interesting problems live at the edges.
