Hi there! 😃

My name is Ali, and I specialize in designing and optimizing computer systems to improve data workflows and ensure seamless integration in robotics and AI environments. I have contributed to research projects such as ConceptFusion and ConceptGraphs, focusing on efficient data handling and system architecture for advanced AI and robotics applications.

I am currently seeking full-time roles and internships in system analysis and optimization, and I’m open to relocation and non-robotics roles. You can view my resume here. If you’d like to get in touch, please don’t hesitate to email me at ali.hqk@x, x=gmail.com, or connect on Twitter/LinkedIn!

Previously, I interned at the Alexa AI team at Amazon, where I worked on optimizing system architectures for large language model applications. I also held roles at Epson and Liquid Analytics, focusing on scalable data systems and integration workflows.

My background in computer science and math from the University of Toronto included roles as a Teaching Assistant and co-founder of the UTM Robotics Club, as well as recognition through the NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award.

In my free time, you’ll find me listening to audiobooks and podcasts, lifting weights, or juggling. ✌
