About Yahia
I'm Yahia, a Senior Staff Software Lead at a public company, where I manage a team of staff engineers focused on AI automation and optimization. Previously, I was a Tech Lead at Amazon before leaving to build my own startups. I founded and scaled a B2C stock market tooling platform for retail investors to 250K users before it was acquired. My next venture, an AI-powered customer research startup, was also successfully acquired. Now, I help engineers break into FAANG or turn their startup ideas into reality.
