Malik works in AI and automation, building systems that take the repetitive work off people’s plates. Outside of that he’s usually on the move — travelling, wandering through old places, and rarely staying put for long. He’s a lifelong reader of history, drawn to books about human evolution and the long story of how we got here, and will happily talk for far too long about why some ancient civilization did what it did. An ancient soul, in his own words, doing very modern work.
