(about)
Hi, I'm Bayan. I studied Computer Science and Cognitive Science at Yale University, and I’m curious about every layer between machines and minds. I design, prototype, build, and write code. My goal is to bring problem-solving instincts and psychological insight to every layer until something functions as well as it feels. My work lives where HCI, art, and engineering meet, in the details people feel before they notice. I am deeply fascinated by the digital world, particularly design, robotics, graphics, and experimentation overall. Curiosity and empathy are my strongest qualities, and they ground the way I approach human-computer interaction.
I’ve come to see my personal growth as analogous to a flower’s journey—one of blooming, adapting, and thriving with purpose. This perspective shapes much of my creative work, from flower-inspired interfaces to vibrant color palettes that draw from nature. Each project reflects my desire to create technology that feels vibrant, intentional, and deeply engaging.

(testimonials)
Bayan was an intern on a project I am a part of the management team on, and in the short amount of time she was on the project, she truly made a difference in both technical and soft skill wise. Bayan was able to come into a project that was already in full swing and moving extremely quickly. In no time she was able to attend a couple onboarding meetings and be able to pick up a complex project that included combining nine different systems into one.
From the beginning Bayan was able to properly convey her abilities and experiences so that leadership was able to ensure she was in a position to be as effective as possible while also seeing different parts of technology projects. Her flexibility was made apparent when she took on both developmental tasks along with business analysis tasks. Whether it was contributing code to a PCF control or helping reorganize documents received from multiple teams into one easy to read documents, Bayan was able to showcase that she had a fantastic eye for detail. Both the technical and documentation that Bayan produced were used to push the project further while giving more senior members of the team the ability to work on other tasks. Since her time was relatively short on the project, Bayan had to make sure she was able to multi-task in order to get everything the team tasked her with in a timely manner.
Due to the tight timelines, both in the project and the internship period, Bayan’s ability to handle the pressure was next to none. Requirements were always in flux, and the stakeholders were extremely demanding, so the work Bayan was doing had to be well constructed. Even as the requirements shifted, Bayan was able to pivot to meet the demand.
Bayan was also able to effectively communicate at all points of the project. Whether it be bringing a bright cheerful disposition to every meeting or answering pointed meaningful questions, Bayan always made sure that her words held weight. This effective communication made managing her a joy, and any future managers would be lucky to have her as part of their team.
