Portfolio — 2025

Hi, I'm Ali

I build software that solves real problems — from government systems to AI chatbots.

About me

I'm a full-stack software engineer with a master's degree in Computer Science from Karlstad University. I work equally comfortably on the backend — robust .NET/C# solutions with clean architecture — and the frontend, building modern web interfaces with React and Blazor.

I'm genuinely interested in how AI can make software smarter. I've worked hands-on with LLMs, RAG pipelines, and agentic systems — integrating them into real products rather than just experimenting in isolation. I care about writing code that's readable, well-tested, and built to last.

My journey so far

A timeline of where I've been and what I've built.

February 2024 — Present

Software Engineer

Capgemini

Part of a team that made the case for a full rewrite of a critical internal application for a large public sector client. The system was rebuilt from the ground up using .NET and Next.js/React, with AI embedded in the development process. End users who had long requested improvements responded warmly to the new system. I took part in all client meetings and independently led the technical implementation of multiple features end-to-end.

Public Sector System Modernisation

Full rewrite with .NET backend and Next.js/React frontend. Unit, integration, and end-to-end testing throughout. Parallel maintenance of three additional applications.

Internal AI Development — RAG Chatbot

The company lacked an efficient way to reuse internal knowledge across projects. I contributed to building a RAG-based chatbot that let users interact with documents stored in SharePoint through an AI-powered interface — enabling semantic search, content summarisation, and contextual Q&A. React frontend with Python backend services, open-source LLMs with LangChain / LlamaIndex.

2018 — 2023

Master's Thesis

Karlstad University

My thesis, Integrated Reflexion Modelling and 3D Source Code Visualization, evaluated the usefulness of incorporating architectural aspects into 3D source code visualization.

January 2022 — 2024

Freelance Software Development

Ran my own software development business alongside my studies. Built a football match notification system that analysed upcoming fixtures and dispatched relevant alerts to users based on custom-built algorithms — integrated against multiple external APIs and communication channels.

August 2022 — January 2023

Tourist Application

Led UI/UX development for an Android tourist application and developer portal website, built with Java and .NET Blazor WASM. I was responsible for most of the UI/UX elements in the developer portal and the Android application.
