About

Ali Alavi. Toronto. Engineer for 25+ years, mostly in places where the cost of being wrong is high: public safety, autonomous vehicles, checkout-free retail, healthcare. MSc in Secure & Dependable Computer Systems from Chalmers; PhD in HCI from ETH.

I currently run Ripenn, an AI search visibility platform. I also maintain SqlProof, a property-based testing library for PostgreSQL. For consulting work, see generativemodels.ai.

This site is where I write essays and notes.
