About
I turn hard problems into clean, working software.
I'm Arya, a full-stack and ML developer based in Toronto. I hold a BSc in Computer Science with a Machine Learning specialization from York University, and a background in Electrical Engineering. Since 2023, I've been working as a web & full-stack developer; building 20+ production applications for clients across web, AI, and healthcare.
I care about architecture, performance, and shipping things that actually work. I'm comfortable across the full stack: from database design and REST APIs to React frontends and LLM integrations.

What I build
Full-Stack Web Apps, Backend Systems & APIs
4 projectsEnd-to-end from schema design to a deployed, monitored product. Auth flows, role-based dashboards, REST APIs, async workers, bulk import pipelines, and CI/CD — the full lifecycle, not just the frontend.
AI & LLM Integrations
6 projectsRAG pipelines, vector embeddings, and prompt engineering wired into real products. Grounded assistants that cite sources, chatbots scoped to your data, and LLM features that actually ship.
ML & Data Pipelines
6 projectsModels from notebook to deployed API — training, evaluation, and serving. Feature pipelines, vector similarity search, re-ranking, and structured output extraction packaged as stable, versioned services.
Custom CMS & WordPress Systems
5 projectsBespoke WordPress builds, headless CMS architectures, and custom plugin development. Multi-role admin panels, ACF-driven content workflows, and WooCommerce extensions built for real editorial and e-commerce teams.
