Documenting Space: Infrastructure and Informal Settlement
Independent Researcheracademic
Conducted 10+ hours of independent ethnographic fieldwork across 2 site visits in Roranwala, an informal settlement enclosed by two gated developments in Lahore. Documented infrastructural inequality across sewerage, waste collection, water storage, electricity, and land tenure through participant observation and unstructured interviewing. Traced the settlement's encirclement over 20+ years (2003-2026) using historical satellite imagery alongside original photographic documentation. Analysed informal land-tenure arrangements, including "stamp paper" ownership operating entirely outside any formal registry.

Platform Labor & Employment Status in Pakistan
Co-author / Researcherpersonal
Co-authored a 67-page empirical legal study examining the "worker" status of platform riders/drivers. Argued that incentive design and automated metrics often function as mandatory disciplinary systems, regardless of formal "independent partner" labels. Analyzed the Punjab Labor Code 2026 (Sections 215 and 241) and precedents like Ghulam Sarwar (1989) to demonstrate how function trumps title in employment law.
