Hey, I'm Aleena
I'm a software engineer based in London, and also current studying part-time for a masters in AI, Ethics and Society at the
University of Cambridge.
I've been working in various startups in London since 2014 - in both technical and non-technical roles.
I love to work on products with a social focus, and wearing a lot of different hats at the same time.
I believe in embedding accessibility in products from the start, and in maintaining a tight feedback loop with the users of my products.
