I’m Ali, an indie developer and researcher who has been building iOS apps since 2017. Together with my girlfriend and co-founder Anna, I build Bubbles’ Journal, an iPad journaling app crafted with a strong focus on detail, playfulness and user experience. Bubbles’ Journal has been featured on the App Store and is loved by its users, with over 3,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.8.
Alongside indie development, I am finishing my PhD in Empirical Software Engineering, where my research focuses on the thing I am most passionate about: apps & UX.

Noteworthy to mention: I freaking love video games 👾 So hit me up for a chitchat about all of these topics 😁
