Areas of Work
Software Engineering
Data infrastructure & machine learning
I build backend services and infrastructure supporting large-scale data and machine-learning systems. My work has spanned recommendation systems, privacy protections for data processing, and infrastructure to support AI training and development.
Historical Scholarship
The Ottoman Empire & modern Balkans
My research examines the intersection of intellectual and sociopolitical history in the late Ottoman Empire and modern Balkans. Currently I am writing a book on Bosnian Muslim intellectual networks and their engagement with the wider Islamic world, c. 1884–1924.
Contemporary Research & Writing
Bosnia-Herzegovina today
I occasionally contribute research and writing on contemporary Bosnia-Herzegovina, its relations with the United States, and the wider region. My work has included articles for Balkan Insight and contributions to Sarajevo's War Childhood Museum.
