I'm Mustafa. Someone who figures out on the way.
It started on my dad's keypad cellphone, the one where you pressed 7 four times to type an s. I'm now an AI engineer at Coral Protocol, building decentralized agents. And quietly working on something bigger.
Things I'm figuring out.
An operating system where agents are the primary citizens.
Not an app that has an AI assistant in the corner. An OS that assumes the user is half-human, half-agents-acting-on-their-behalf, and treats both as first-class. File system, process model, networking, payments, all rethought from that assumption.
Not shipped. Not even close. Mostly in notebooks and Cursor right now.
Whether the Ashes still means what it used to.
Mostly watched, occasionally analyzed. Cricket is the one place I let myself be irrational. Nothing in sport matches a five-day Ashes Test for tension.
Whether vibe-coding survives the next year.
Building in Cursor, in long sessions, with a model that's gotten weirdly good at reading intent. I think the craft is changing. I don't know yet whether that's good or bad.
Things I've made.
Some shipped. Some didn't. The ones I learned the most from are usually the ones that didn't.
More, including the unfinished ones, on GitHub.
A little more.
I have always been drawn to systems: how things connect, what breaks first under pressure, and what it takes to make something actually work for real people rather than just in theory.
I study at FAST NUCES in Karachi. I built an attendance system for one of the campus's biggest tech events, learned what shipping under deadline actually feels like, and started reading ML papers at night when the deadline-stuff was done. The night part stuck.
Now I'm at Coral Protocol, building agents that talk to other agents and pay each other for the work. The problems are genuinely hard and the space is moving fast, which is exactly where I want to be.
When I'm not coding, I'm watching cricket, vibe-coding side projects in Cursor, or arguing with friends about who wins the next Ashes.
Where I've worked.
AI Engineer at Coral Protocol.
Building AI agents and the infrastructure under them: autonomous multi-agent systems for decentralized use cases and the unglamorous orchestration code that keeps it all from falling over. Day-to-day: Python, LangChain, Crew AI, Camel-AI, Docker, occasional Kotlin.
Web Developer at PROCOM, FAST NUCES.
Designed and shipped a full-stack attendance system for one of FAST's largest tech events while still a student. Owned it end-to-end: admin tooling, participant flows, the whole thing in Next.js and Node, dockerized and deployed. First time I really felt what shipping on a real deadline does to you.
