About

Aspiring software engineer interested in building tools that make people's lives easier.

I'm Ali — based in Kennesaw, GA. Graduated from KSU in December 2025 with a B.S. in Software Engineering and a Minor in CS, Magna Cum Laude, 3.81 GPA. Starting a M.S. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech in Fall 2026.

My background spans both sides of the dev cycle. I spent six months as a Software QA Engineer at General Devices testing a real mobile health app inside an Agile team, then designed and shipped a live production website for Marietta Tire Company — custom domain, SMS notifications, serverless forms, the whole thing. School projects across frontend, backend, and databases fill out the rest.

Outside of screens I'm usually at the gym, watching or playing soccer or basketball, gaming, or adding to my Pokémon card collection.

ProFlows
Project Management System  ·  Group Leader

Desktop tool for software teams to track requirements, risk logs, and effort hours across the full dev lifecycle. I led a team of five — custom dark-themed Tkinter UI, JSON persistence, and as much of a lesson in coordination as in actually writing code.

Software QA Engineer Internship

Tested the CAREpoint Go mobile health app through functional, regression, and usability testing. Built test plans, filed bugs with repro steps, and worked inside a real Agile team across sprints and retros. My first look at what production software quality actually looks like.

Sponsored Capstone Project

Sponsor-backed capstone where we built a responsive web app prototype for a real client. I translated sponsor feedback into requirements, wireframes, and a Figma prototype, then contributed across frontend, backend, and database layers through sprint-based collaboration.
