Hi, I'm Arman 👋

Software engineer, professionally breaking things since 7th grade and finally getting paid to fix them.

About

Software Engineer at Alpaca, building backend systems that keep fintech alive and mostly behaving. Previously built a high-performance trading platform at Flahmingo and a strong relationship with coffee. Currently chasing curiosity with a Master's in Computer Science at Heriot-Watt University. When I’m not coding, I’m probably lifting, tinkering, or pretending cold coffee is a choice.
