All I wanted was to make things move.
As a kid I lived on Jetix and Fox Kids. Twenty years of sketchbooks later I'm still that kid. I draw every day, on paper or on the iPad, and I sign my work Nadir K.
Hide the complexity. Deliver simplicity.
I've delivered more than 20 websites and web apps. It started with sites for restaurants and local businesses at Domino Media and kept going: full stack products of my own, scrapers that run every night, and an ASL tutor that runs a model live.
Probing on its own is not enough.
At Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory I applied sparse autoencoders to see what models actually learn. My NeurIPS 2026 paper with Christian Internò and David Klindt, Is a Linear Probe Evidence of a Linear Representation?, argues that a high probe score doesn't prove what interpretability claims it does. Right now I'm working on emotionally intelligent models.
