My name is Aren Akian.
I build thoughtful iOS products from sketch to ship.
I studied Interdisciplinary Computing Arts & Media (Music) at UC San Diego, with minors in Computer Science and Business (Marketing). By day I’ve led projects at Uptown General Engineering, a family-owned construction firm in Los Angeles. That blend of creativity, systems thinking, and accountability shapes how I design and engineer apps.
I founded Mekina Software to make creative tools and apps that I wished existed. ABSeq is our first release: a fast, reliable way to A/B reference audio tracks anywhere.
On the fitness side, I’m building Challengrs, a photo-verified accountability app that gamifies consistent effort.
Whether I’m mapping flows, prototyping UI, or shipping Swift/SwiftUI code, I care about outcomes: clear value, clean interfaces, and measurable impact. Good ideas, solid execution, and a bit of fun. That’s the recipe.
