Hey! I'm Arash.

I'm driven to craft intuitive, purposeful, and well-designed things with tech that works for people.

👋 Say hi

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 while growing up around it. I feel inspired to wield any knowledge of it and use it for good.

I've been fortunate enough to have tech close by as I grew up: from the computer station in kindergarten to the ICT club in primary school, then what I studied in secondary school and polytechnic, 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 — things like a personal internet and home labbing right now.

Beyond that, I'm discovering more of the community behind code, and I'm learning to be more involved where I can: I've run special interest groups at school, helped plan workshops across the world, and publish my learnings in a digital garden to name a few. 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! :)

What I know is always a work in progress! Through the years, I've gotten the privilege to learn many new skills and put them into practice. Especially with tech, where things are ever-changing, I try to keep up with the latest when I have the time and resources to. You really do learn a lot by doing, especially with mistakes along the way — exactly how I approach learning!
