About Me

My name is Ali Aran, I am a student at UNC-Chapel Hill Boot Camp, in the "Full Stack Flex Program". Spread over 24 weeks, this program focuses on teaching the required knowledge and skills to build dynamic, end-to-end web applications. Upon completion, scheduled for July 21, 2021, the program will award a professional certificate to entitle each graduate as a "Full Stack Web Developer".

This particular portfolio page displays examples of the work that I have completed in the program after 9 weeks of rigorous learning and it will be updated regularly to include more advanced work. The main topics which I covered so far include: HTML, Git, CSS, Javascript, Web-APIs, Third-Party-APIs and Server-Side-APIs.

I am an architect and prior to my involvement in coding I mostly worked on residential projects both in the US and overseas. My responsibilities were usually spread between the following phases of the architectural services: program of requirements, schematic design, design development, construction documents, construction administration. In time, coordinating the different groups of professionals who were involved in these phases has become an inherent part of my job as well. Such endeavors developed my abilities to foresee problems and act proactively. My career also let me supervise the design and manufacturing processes simultaneously while I partnered with a boat builder to produce custom-designed, homely sailboats.

I am interested in education and I had the opportunity to teach part-time at different universities. I taught architectural design to sophomore students and structural design to seniors. Teaching and the academic environment enabled me to do research, form interdisciplinary ties and broaden my knowledge. Even though utilizing computers through softwares like AutoCAD, SketchUp, Rhino, Photoshop or 3DS Max was always essential in the architectural practice, it was through my affiliation with the schools that I was introduced to the concepts of algorithmic thinking and parametric design as applicable design methods in architecture.

All along my professional life, I took great advantage of my critical thinking skills, attention to details and commitment to success. Now, I like to continue manifesting my potential as a "Web Developer" and I am really excited!
