Arta Ghasemi · CS @ Penn State
I build practical products and the distribution that gets them seen.
Most early products die between build and distribution. I work both sides: Swift, health apps, freelancer workflows, and product systems on one side; short-form strategy, shooting, and editing on the other. Same operator, tighter feedback loop.
