Seven-month co-op. I own the Laboratory's internal AI search, used by 4,500+ engineers, from the technical proposal to the production release.
Ali Tleis.
CS and Sociology student at Northeastern. I'm on a seven-month co-op at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, where I own the internal AI search that 4,500+ engineers use.

Outside work I build tools for problems I hit myself. Upflow2x exists because every interpolator I tried smeared the held frames in my anime edits. On EternalMonitor, the iPad second-screen app, I own AMD GPU support, from the AMF encoder to the software fallback.
Featured work.
EternalMonitor
I build it with the Sideband team and own its AMD GPU support. It turns an iPad into a second screen for Windows, extending or mirroring the desktop over Wi-Fi or USB with touch, keyboard and Apple Pencil input, and plays the PC's audio on the iPad.

Where I've worked, studied, and shipped.
One of five founding engineers at an independent software studio. I build the studio site and product pages in Next.js, and develop products across desktop, browser and web.
Frontend internship that also covered the Express APIs, the MongoDB schema and the sync jobs behind them.
B.S. Computer Science and Sociology via Northeastern's co-op program, with coursework alternating against full-time engineering placements.
Workstation provisioning and inventory tooling for an office of 20+ machines.
What I build with.
Where the editing happens.
I create edits from anime, shows and movies for an audience of 12.8K, and Upflow2x 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.
