Hi, I'm Aliyah.
Senior Computer Science student at the Paul G. Allen School at the University of Washington. I build software with a soft spot for the user and gravitate toward AI, agentic systems, and HCI. I like things that feel like a person made them, which is partly why this site is a New York Times Connections game.
Right now I'm finishing up my last quarter and currently taking a Computational Neuroscience course alongside a Networks/Mobile AI capstone! I'm also taking i2's Intro Neuro/AI course, which bridges neuroscience and artificial intelligence with machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, reinforcement learning, and language modeling, in PyTorch with Jupyter and LaTeX.
