Haris Ali

I’m an experienced software engineer, manager, and open-source author currently based in Los Angeles, CA. Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked in a variety of roles—from individual contributor to Director of Software. I love creating innovative products and building exceptional teams with exceptional people.

I’m happiest when writing code—especially when working on distributed systems, mobile apps, and web applications. My current focus is on machine learning and artificial intelligence using tools like Keras and TensorFlow. My favorite programming languages include Python, C, C++, Swift, TypeScript/JavaScript, and Kotlin. I have extensive experience with AWS CDK, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, and S3, as well as Docker, RabbitMQ, Celery, and Postgres. I’ve built and deployed production-ready event-driven microservices, monolithic APIs, and a variety of serverless and static applications. I also have a strong background in building C/C++ cross-platform libraries using CMake, targeting macOS, iOS, Linux, Android, and embedded systems, with SWIG-based bindings for Python and Java.

My most popular open source contribution is EZAudio, a general purpose audio toolkit for iOS and macOS that allowed developers to use audio in a way that was previously hard and cumbersome. In my most recent role at Happy Health, I served as Director of Software, where I helped create one of the most advanced, FDA-certified smart rings on the market. In Oct 2022, I transitioned from a full-time role at Happy Health to working with them through my agency, Ausome Apps, taking on the role of Principal Architect.
