Hey there! I'm a product-focused engineer studying computer science and engineering at UCI.
I'm passionate about building and scaling products, investing in ideas that make a tangible impact on the world around me, social network analysis, and the intersection of computer science and psychology.
In my free time, I love to curate new playlists. Shameless plug right here: my spotify. Although I'm an engineer, I happen to also occasionally dabble in photography, film, and music production. You can find my work below.
Send me an email at kazemiankeyan@gmail.com or find me at any of my socials linked below. Thanks for visiting!

current ventures
What I'm working on at the moment.
california crescent fund
We're raising a million dollars to invest in Southern California student founders. Crescent Fund is a student-run venture fund of university partners focused on growing the student startup ecosystem in SoCal.
As a co-founder and the VP of engineering, I'm helping build UCI's first ever student-run product incubator. We host career workshops, speaker events, and a two quarter fellowship where students take a product from ideation to launch.
222 is a research project focused on exploring how technology can be used as a net positive for human connection and mental health. We're looking to answer the question: can we predict initial connection among a group of strangers based on a set of overlapping traits? 222 will be launching soon.
In a nutshell, lo-key is an application that helps shed light on smaller and more undiscovered artists. Using the Spotify Web Api, Lo-Key allows the user to input their favorite artist
and receive a list of similar yet "low key" artists.
It is my strong belief that in today's society, the majority of the population listens to a select number of regurgitated musicians. And while there are those who look for new music, the algorithms of popular music streaming services, keep users in an echo chamber that only promotes artists with high followings. Unfortunately, this means that there is
a plethora of popular artists of yesterday and unpopular artists of today that are constantly being slept on. This makes it very difficult for under represented artists to break through the glass ceiling.
