Engineer & builder. Canada. Founder of @anteroom-studio.
I'm Zawwar Sami — independent engineer working at the intersection of AI and markets. I build reasoning systems and tools that compress decades of macro and geopolitical signal into something a single operator can act on. Anteroom Studio (founded 2019) is the home for that work. ZAI is the long-running autonomous-intelligence project I'm building inside it.
Most of the live code is in private repos. The public surface is below.
- zhub — WiFi for AIs. Drop-in substrate that turns any AI into a discoverable, OpenAI-compatible endpoint reachable from any client.
- pocket — browser-only AI chat. Bring your own key, auto-detect the provider, nothing leaves the device. Live at pocket-tau-sepia.vercel.app.
- Zai-Hacking-game — terminal-feel hacker RPG. Real shell, fake stakes.
- engineering-portfolio — personal site. Next.js 16, framer-motion, Lenis. Live at zawwarsami.com.
- htb-progress — public Hack The Box notebook. Writeups, patterns, and methodology from solved boxes and CTF events.
- Daily contributions to the Anthropic SDKs (Python, TypeScript), vercel/ai, and ollama.
- Writing on Substack about the things I find while I build.
- Climbing the HTB ladder for offensive-security practice; writeups land on the Substack.
- Writing the long book Unwrapping What Exists — on consciousness, AI, and inquiry.
- Building Anteroom Oracle — an AI terminal for macro and geopolitical intelligence.
