I'm Faruk. I work in the reliability corner of the electric-power industry, leading data and analytics on the state of the grid. I'm also a PhD student in AI/ML, working in two places: graph neural networks for the cybersecurity of power grids, and the security and cultural competence of large language models. This site is where I keep essays, research, and a small library of things worth re-reading.
