Aspiring Product Manager
UC Irvine Informatics Student, HCI Specialization
Passionate about creating innovative solutions
Hi! I'm Ali, a student at UC Irvine studying informatics with a HCI specialization. Over the past few years, I’ve worked on projects that combine problem solving, building, and real impact. I like taking ideas from nothing to something, figuring out what actually matters, and creating products that people find useful.
I built ParsePro to make resume feedback faster and easier, and helped create ARIA, a learning app that makes understanding stocks more engaging. Those projects taught me how to ship things, work with different people, and think beyond just the technical side.
I care about building products that feel simple, practical, and well thought out. I like seeing progress, improving little details, and understanding how things fit together.
When I’m not working on projects, I’m usually at the gym, watching MMA, or exploring somewhere new. I’m big on staying active, spending time in nature, and keeping life balanced between work, learning, and enjoying the moment.
