I'm Riyan — 18 years old from Hyderabad, Pakistan. Just finished school and have been teaching myself to code and building projects ever since.

I got the chance to co-author a research paper that got accepted at CHI 2025 — still kind of surreal honestly. The paper looks at how generative AI systems can be studied and audited.

I also built and launched eazyburgers.com — a full website for a real client, a smash burger joint in Hyderabad. Designed, built, and deployed it end-to-end.

Most of what I build is stuff I actually want to use — a gym tracker, a uni search tool, a raycaster in C++. I figure that's a good reason to build something.

C++ Raycaster

A first-person raycaster built from scratch in C++. Classic Wolfenstein-style 3D rendering using ray casting — no game engine, just maths and pixels.

C++ Raycasting Graphics

Pico-8 Game

Built a breakout-style game in Pico-8 — a fantasy console limited to 128×128 pixels and a tiny colour palette. Coded in Lua. Was hosted on Replit but that went paid. The game's gone now but the screenshot lives on.

Three.js WebGL JavaScript

Designed and built end-to-end for a real paying client. Custom hero, animated menu, real Google Maps reviews, Australian Angus beef section, WhatsApp ordering integration, and a floating order button. Deployed on Cloudflare Pages with a custom domain.

When you ask an AI to generate an image of a "CEO" or a "nurse", it fills in the gaps with its own assumptions — race, gender, age. This paper introduces the idea of context voids: deliberately leaving parts of a prompt blank to reveal those hidden biases. We used this method to study and audit generative AI systems. Co-authored with researchers from the University of Washington's Information School.
