About

I’m interested in building technology at the intersection of engineering, product, and entrepreneurship.


Hi, I’m Ariya. I’m a Computer Science and Business student at UC Irvine focused on building systems where engineering, product, and real-world impact come together. I’m most interested in work that moves from understanding a problem deeply to shipping something real that people can actually use.

I enjoy building end to end. That means talking to users, designing thoughtfully, and implementing systems that hold up in real-world conditions. I care about clarity, iteration, and making technical decisions that support people rather than just complexity.

My experience includes AI-powered systems, backend and data-driven applications, and user-facing products. I’ve built an LLM-based knowledge retrieval system in an industry setting and developed applications that respond to real user needs rather than static assumptions.

Alongside industry work, I also do research focused on building inclusive and supportive technology that has been evaluated in real-world contexts.
