Histeeria

Founder & Engineer

Histeeria · Trust infrastructure for AI agents

PresentJul 2026 to PresentLahore, Pakistan · Remote

Building the judgment layer for AI agents: monitor what an agent did, then decide whether it should be trusted.

  • Shipped an end-to-end agent monitoring SaaS: SDK ingest, async evaluation pipeline, Next.js dashboard, alerts, reports, and public agent profiles.
  • Built zero-dependency client SDKs on PyPI and npm.
  • Implemented a three-tier evaluation pipeline: rule-based heuristics, LLM judge, and adjudicator scoring across eight judgment dimensions.
  • Designed a FastAPI backend with SQLAlchemy 2 and a multi-tenant schema on PostgreSQL and Redis.

Asteria

Founder & Engineer

Asteria · Early Histeeria, before the pivot

Pivoted2025 to 2026Lahore, Pakistan

The original social-platform direction that later pivoted into Histeeria. Built as a distributed, encrypted social system before the trust-infrastructure focus.

  • Started as a social collaboration platform and end-to-end encrypted distributed product direction.
  • Laid technical foundations that later informed Histeeria's agent trust and observability work.
  • Pivoted when the stronger product thesis became trust infrastructure for AI agents.
