Hello!

Welcome to my home on the web. My name is Ali Razfar.

I am currently an undergraduate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

My interests lie at the intersection between technology, design, and entrepreneurship.

Feel free to take a look around and get to know me a little better.

This website is a work in progress so if you smell something funky, please drop me a line.

Below is a sample of some of my recent work.

This is an iPhone app that I helped design and implement as the final group project for CS 465: User Interface Design. In this course I was introduced to the fundamental concepts surrounding user interface design, work in a collaborative environment, and the process of going from a concept to a realized solution. Additionally, I learned various techniques for analysis of user interfaces. Hit the play button on the left to check the app out!

I will type a nice bio here eventually. For now, tap the left or right arrow on the sides of this div in order to read my mantra.

my creed.

I believe that the next couple of decades are going to be witness to the most prolific and exponential periods of growth and innovation in the history of mankind. Information is finally becoming democratized to a point where anyone who is interested can learn about their passion to create tangible value for their community. Additionally, the traditional boundaries of academic disciplines are finally starting to tear down to make way for interdisciplinary problems and solutions. Most importantly, the world is facing great challenges in which the answers are complex. We are sitting at the crux of a technological revolution and I believe that the power of computing lies at the heart of all of this. Leveraging the capabilities of computers will be crucial in solving problems in the life sciences, transportation, and the environment. Of course, all of these complex solutions should incorporate good, simplistic design so that they can be used to their full potential. I hope to position myself in the midst of this opportunity, so that I may use my passion and expertise to help advance humanity. In my current stage, I am trying to strengthen my knowledge of computers as well as expose myself to the various problems of our day. If you are interesting in working with me, please contact me.
