Areas of Work

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
