About Me

Hi! I’m Ali

I work at Mars International Inc in Piscataway, NJ.

I Co-founded a company in June 2016 doing VR software development. After helping complete the prototype for our game Overduty VR, I left to pursue my passion for Hardware design.

I worked as an Intern at Tomorrow Lab in 2018 learning a lot about embedded systems, PCB, and Product Design.

I worked at Raytheon Missile Systems from March 2019 until June 2020 mostly doing PCB testing (Not the most exciting work)

I worked at Picatinny Arsenal previously as head of Electronic Design for a certain project until Feb 2022.

I graduated with my Bachelor's in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) in May 2016. I completed my Master’s in ECE, Oct 2021.

Below you will find some Projects.

Prototype 1

Prototype 2 - completed design

Prototype 2 - using gear system to provide haptic feedback. Custom designed housing replacing original design
