Ali Tleis.

Web Application Developer@MIT Lincoln Laboratory

CS student at Northeastern, currently on a seven-month co-op at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. I build production software end-to-end. Full-stack platforms, automation pipelines, and tooling people actually use.

The work I gravitate toward is the kind that ships. Full systems with database schemas underneath them, Python and Lua pipelines handling the parts no one wants to do by hand, and a clean front end on top. Fast, considered, and quietly opinionated.

Where the editing happens.

03 FRAMES

I create edits from anime, shows and movies for an audience of 11.9K, and Eternal2x came out of doing it. The footage is drawn on 2s, every interpolator I tried smeared the held frames, so I wrote one that treats the duplicates as deliberate. The edits themselves are built in After Effects, with nulls driving parented transforms, compositing in 3D space with camera moves, effects stacked deep, easing hand-tuned on every move, and the sound designed to match the cut.
