Software Developer · CS @ UConn
Zain Irfan.
I'm a CS student at UConn building at the intersection of software, design, and entrepreneurship — from AI interview tools to Shopify storefronts, AWS apps, and creative side projects that turn into real products.

I'm a Computer Science student at UConn, in the Honors Program and STEM Scholar Community. I fell for computing as a kid, drawn to the quiet alchemy of turning a few lines of logic into something that moves, calculates, or seems to think on its own. What's kept me here is the way of thinking it demands: clean abstractions, careful reasoning, and the discipline of taking a problem apart and putting it back together correctly.
The projects I'm proudest of have all gone in front of real users. I rebuilt a Shopify storefront that's grown 51% year over year, deployed a handful of web apps on AWS, and founded a coding program in high school that taught 15 students CS fundamentals through Scratch and JavaScript.
Right now I'm building official UConn sites as a Student Web Specialist and doing freelance web work on the side. If you're working on something interesting, I'd genuinely like to hear about it.
