I'm a Computer Engineering student at Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, Mumbai — pursuing my Bachelor's with a CGPA of 9.95 while actively building full-stack and AI-powered applications.
My technical toolkit spans the MERN stack, TypeScript, Python, and the Gemini API. I believe in learning by building — from production-ready backend systems to open-source contributions, every project sharpens both skill and perspective.
I also run a small business and contributed to AI model training at Outlier AI — experiences that sharpened how I think about products, users, and real-world systems.
Where I've contributed
Selected for the highly competitive Social Summer of Code 2026 program. Engineered algorithmic enhancements and AI-driven automation pipelines for Algo-Infinity-Verse and AI-Agent-Automation. Collaborated with a global community to optimize code efficiency and merge production-ready pull requests.
Trained and evaluated large language models through data annotation, prompt engineering, and response quality rating — contributing to LLM reliability improvements across production AI systems.
Pursuing Computer Engineering with a CGPA of 9.95/10. Coursework spanning data structures, algorithms, computer graphics, database systems, and full-stack web development.
Ali single-handedly managed and delivered mathematics classes across multiple boards and grade levels with remarkable consistency. His ability to simplify complex concepts, keep students engaged, and maintain structured lesson plans far exceeded what we expected from someone his age. He brought both discipline and genuine care to every session — a rare combination.
Tools of the trade
Things I've built
Production-grade authentication API built with TypeScript, Express, PostgreSQL, and Prisma — covering JWT rotation, RBAC, OAuth2, 2FA, and rate limiting across a six-phase build roadmap. Phase 1 is live: schema, auth flows, and Docker-based local Postgres are fully wired up.
Engineered an event-driven, production-grade real-time chat platform utilizing WebSocket scaling via Redis Pub/Sub, a hybrid database architecture (PostgreSQL & MongoDB), and async BullMQ queues.
Plain English: a high-speed chat app (like Slack) built to deliver instant messages, handle thousands of live connections, and send background alerts without freezing up.
Full-stack MERN application where users enter their exam date and subjects — Gemini AI generates a personalised day-by-day study schedule. Features JWT authentication, personal dashboard, and progress tracking.
Core contributor during SSoC 2026. Engineered optimized algorithmic solutions for Algo-Infinity-Verse and developed intelligent automation workflows for AI-Agent-Automation. Demonstrated strong version control, structured code review, and high-impact collaborative software engineering.
When I'm not shipping code
Casual rated games — I like the same pattern-recognition muscle chess and debugging share.
Run a small YouTube channel — scripting, shooting, and editing tech and campus content.
Tutor students across boards — breaking down hard concepts is a hobby that also pays the bills.
Strength training a few times a week — it's the closest thing I have to a reset button.
Entrepreneurship
Designed and developed the complete digital storefront for a family leather shoe business — product showcase, brand identity, and contact flow. Sole developer responsible for design, implementation, and deployment.

AliOS Terminal v1.0.0 — type help to see available commands.
Let's build something together
Open to software developer internships, full-stack roles, and collaborations — remote or in Mumbai.
