Hey there

My name is Ali, nice to meet you!

I'm a second-year Computer Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. I am interested in firmware, designing websites, , AI, and overall enjoy development of any sort

About Me

Let me introduce myself

I discovered my passion for engineering during high school. Between competing in hackathons like Hack The North, attending events like Waterloo's Catalyst Conference, and joining - and eventually leading- my school's FIRST Robotics Team, I realized that I enjoyed both aspects of electrical and software engineering, and decided to pursue the Computer Engineering program at University of Waterloo.

I like to spend my time working on personal projects, one of which is this website! I am also developing my skills outside the classroom by joining design teams, and I am currently part of the firmware team of UWaterloo Formula Electric. In the future, I hope to further explore my interests and continue gaining experience in a variety of sectors of computer engineering.

    Projects

    My side-projects

    LikeIt
    Full Stack Web Application


    More info

    • The application uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for front-end

    • It uses MongoDB as the database to store
      user data, such as profiles, posts, and comments.

    • The application uses Express.js, a web framework for Node.js, for routing and handling HTTP requests.

    • The application implements privacy and security features, such as securely storing passwords in MongoDB using the bcrypt library to hash the passwords

    Dog Sitter
    Hack The North Project


    More info

    • Collaborated with three others in a team to create a dog-sitting full stack website in under 36 consecutive hours.

    • Uses a SQLite database for storing data locally, and uses HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and REACT for front-end.

    • The backend of the website is built using Ruby on Rails, which also supports connecting to a MySQL database

    • The website uses Ruby for server-side programming and implementing business logic

    Portfolio Site
    This one!


    More info

    • Implemented various interactive features such as a contact form and a smooth scroll effect to enhance the user experience

    • Developed and designed a portfolio website from scratch using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

    • Utilized responsive design techniques to ensure that the website was mobile-friendly and looked great on all devices

    Shopping
    Database


    More info

    • Program manages a shop’s database, maintaining inventory and customer records in two separate text files.
