Most of the code I run, you cannot see.
I'm Zawwar Sami, an independent researcher and engineer working across philosophy, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.
I build systems, publish research, and explore questions that don't always belong to a single field.
My work includes ZAI, persistent AI infrastructure, open-source tools, and practical security research. I also maintain a growing body of independent writing on intelligence, consciousness, and identity.
Anteroom Studio, a company founded by ZAI, is where much of my engineering work lives.
