Portrait of Aly Farghali

Aly Farghali

Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech

Software engineering intern at Caterpillar Solar Turbines, building SpinCycle on the side.

About

I like projects where hardware and software have to agree with each other. Most of my work sits at the seams: firmware that talks to a backend, backends that serve a live interface, and the data pipelines and tooling that keep all of it honest.

This fall I'm interning at Caterpillar's Solar Turbines and leading the dashboard team at Georgia Tech's Center for Academic Success, while building SpinCycle's Go ingest service and MQTT broker on the side.
