Hey! I'm Arash.
I'm curious about how tech can be designed to serve people at scale without losing its ethics or soul. As someone raised in the digital generation, I've seen how tech has played a role in our circles, and I feel inspired to discover ways to give back with the knowledge and skills I have.
Tech has always felt like my kind of thing. I have been fortunate enough
to have it close by as I grew up: in the computer station in kindergarten,
the ICT club in primary school, and my choice of secondary school, so I
leaned towards it where I could. My passion solidified when I wrote my
first lines of code (and began
raging at random obscure errors) as far
back as 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: 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 I'm sure that'll never get 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! :)

Here's a collection of my most beloved works. I believe I learn best by doing, so I try to pick up projects whenever I'm in the mood to learn something new in depth. When working on projects, I approach them with curiosity, patience, and determination; the result of that is projects I'm proud to talk about, like those below!
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.
Here lies the projects that could've been. I hope to (re)visit these ideas when the opportunity permits, but feel free to have a look at making at any one of these ideas in the meantime 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 I firmly believe that there's always something to discover and learn. Over the years, I've had the privilege of accessing 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
