Ali Arain
I'm a software engineer at CommandCode.ai, where I build the agentic desktop app. I also build my own products, mostly alone, from design to launch. I care more about what to build, and who it's for, than about the stack.
I taught myself to code by building things, breaking them and fixing them. I never studied computer science, and I still work that way.
In 2022 I started raptrX, a studio that's bootstrapped and profitable, with a team of five. We build in public. I named it after the Raptor engine on SpaceX's Starship.
