About Maahir Garg. A short letter, more or less.
Hello. I'm Maahir. I study Computer Science and Quantitative Finance at NUS, and I work as an AI engineer at GIC. Right now I'm building an internal Claude Code-style CLI agent for classified-data environments. It's now the primary AI interface across my team, alongside agentic LLM pipelines that automate internal audit workflows end-to-end.
Before GIC I was at Interactive 3D Lab, where I co-invented a patent-pending multimodal tracking framework that stitches iPhone and Apple Vision Pro into a single tracking surface for stroke rehabilitation, at 89% cross-device accuracy, with a research paper in preparation. I also taught Algorithms, Data Structures, and Discrete Structures at NUS across three semesters (4.8/5.0 rating), and shipped data infrastructure across a handful of earlier research and industry roles. Threads that keep recurring: measurement, constraint, trade-off.
Outside work I carry a camera, play a lot of badminton, and keep at least three F1 tabs open. I love a clean chess blitz and I lose honestly.
What I care about in engineering: making the tradeoff legible. If a model is 69% smaller, I want to know what the other 31% paid for it. If a pipeline runs in seconds, I want to know what it assumes. The small, specific numbers are usually where the interesting decisions live.

Singapore is home, but I've crossed enough of South and Southeast Asia to have opinions about airport lounges.
