Hey! I'm Arash.
I'm curious about how tech can be designed to serve people at scale without losing its ethics or soul. Being raised in the digital generation allowed me to observe the role tech has played in our circles, and I've never been more motivated to discover ways to contribute with the skills I've currently gained so far.
Tech has always felt like my kind of thing. I had the privilege to have it
close by as I grew up β the computer station in kindergarten; the ICT club
in primary school; my choice of secondary school β and I leaned towards
it. My passion solidified when I wrote my first lines of code (and began
raging at random obscure errors) back in
2019 (a few years ago!), and I've since explored
new domains at my own pace. Right now, I'm drawn towards interdisciplinary fields
that blend tech with another subject β things like ethics, policy, and design
are on my to-explore list.
I'm discovering that there's so much more to tech than just code. I'm a firm believer in the community behind code, and I'm trying to be more active where I can β I've run special interest groups at school, helped plan workshops across the world, and started a digital garden to share my stream of thoughts with the world. There's just so much to discover, and that never gets old!
If you've read this far, I hope there's something here that struck a chord with you. I'm more than excited learn about your journey, so feel free to reach out anytime! :)

I love working on personal projects. Learning by doing is my modus operandi, and I believe that projects are great ways to learn something new with depth. When I work on them, I try with the best efforts I can give. The result of that are projects I'm proud to talk about, like those below here!
My personal home lab to explore self-hosted services, infrastructure management, and more.
An Android app that helps you find buddies to do activities with.
An automated IOT system for people with disabilities to adjust impediments in their environment to their needs.
An Android app for senior Singaporeans to understand content in digital services better.
I tend to think of a lot of ideas from time to time that I'll put aside for different reasons. I'm hoping to (re)visit them when the time permits! What's here could be yours: feel free to have a look at making any one of them if you're keen.
A simple app to keep track of who owes you money.
An expense app used to split bills with friends.
A friendly multi-purpose Discord bot that helps your server experience better.
A modern redesign of the Meterological Service Singapore's weather website.
A site to compare differences in curated lyrics between songs.
My skills are always a work in progress, and there's always something to discover and learn. I've had the privilege of access opportunities to hone my skills, so I intend to keep going and get better at them. Especially with tech, there are just so many things waiting for you to find! π
