About Me
Pouya Alavi Naeini
Software Engineer
Final-Year IT Student · Macquarie University
I'm a final-year IT student at Macquarie University, graduating November 2026. My degree is in AI & Web and App Development — full-stack web is my primary focus.
I care about software that holds up over time: clean interfaces, sensible data models, and code that other engineers can pick up and continue. My work includes authentication, access control, testing, and CI/CD — not just UI.
My projects include Syllabus Sync — a production-ready student platform with MFA, row-level security, and CI/CD — and a CIFAR-10 classifier comparison with Grad-CAM interpretability and a live demo. I'm looking for graduate and early-career roles in Sydney.
