HI, I'M ALI · I DELETE BUSYWORK FOR A LIVING

Hey, I'm Ali.
I delete busywork.

Nine years of turning spreadsheets, copy-paste rituals and “quick favor” Slack pings into software people rely on. This is my corner of the internet. Move the cursor: even this page sorts itself out around you.

MY FAVORITE BEFORE AND AFTER SO FAR

OFF THE CLOCK

I keep a folder of automations that exist purely to amuse me: a bot that names my playlists, a script that waters one (1) plant, a cron job that texts me when it's a good evening for a walk. The plant is thriving.

ASK ABOUT THE PLANT · I WILL SHOW YOU THE PLANT

Things I've built.

CLIENT WORK, SO SCREENSHOTS ARE REDACTED. I'LL HAPPILY WALK YOU THROUGH ANY OF THEM.

A GAME I MADE · PLAY

Packet runner.

Your data packet is being flown through the legacy stack by hand. One control: tap, click or press space to climb, and slip through the gaps. It gets fast. I made it instead of writing a newsletter.

SPACE / CLICK / TAP TO CLIMB · SLIP THROUGH THE GAPS · R RESTARTS INSTANTLY

EACH LEGACY SYSTEM CLEARED = +1 · THE STACK SPEEDS UP · YOUR BEST RUN STAYS ON THE BOARD

Contact

Say hi.

My bot handles the form-filling so you don't have to. Rather just write? The note on the right comes straight to me.
