I am a second-year CS PhD student at Stanford University advised by Zakir Durumeric and funded by the Stanford Graduate Fellowship. Before joining Stanford, I was at LUMS (BS ‘23). My research focuses broadly on understanding the web and building systems to enable us to answer complex questions about it. I am also interested in how access to the Internet differs across the world.

At LUMS, I worked under the supervision of Ihsan Ayyub Qazi, Zafar Ayyub Qazi and Zartash Afzal Uzmi on efficient means to debloat websites & software.
