Hi, I’m Arta.
I build apps
and make films.
I’m a computer science student at Penn State. I like taking an idea all the way through: figuring out what it should do, building it, and putting it in someone’s hands.
Sometimes that means an iPhone app. Sometimes it’s a short film. And sometimes it’s software for an editing task I’m tired of doing by hand.
What I’m working on
Buff Kitty
iPhone app · On the App Store
Making protein tracking easier to stick with.
A daily protein tracker for people who lift, with a gym cat that reacts as you reach your goal. I designed and built the app, from food logging to subscriptions, and made the videos that introduced it to its first users.
Right now, I’m improving the first-use experience and making daily logging quicker.
Different problems.
The same curiosity.
A couple more projects that show how I work.
A support assistant at Akadion
Software engineering internship · 2025I built a tool that finds answers in a company’s documents, from the document pipeline to the chat interface.
Rushline
Premiere Pro assistant · Local prototypeRepetitive podcast edits became a software project: captions, motion text, and reframing that I can keep editing in Premiere.
Akheilo · Camera, visual effects & soundBehind the camera
I also think in scenes.
I make cinematic videos built to entertain, hold attention, and give people a reason to care about a product. Across brand work and creator collaborations, videos I’ve helped make have earned millions of views.
That part of my life shows up in my software too. Rushline grew out of my editing workflow. When I launch an app, I get to make the film that explains it.
Explore the creative workA little about me.
I grew up in Iran and moved to the U.S. when I was fifteen. Now I’m studying computer science at Penn State, graduating in December 2027. I speak Farsi and English.
Alongside my own projects, I lead and mentor editors in Penn State’s Student Videography Association. My week tends to move between code, a timeline, and a camera.
