Ali Asad
Product Engineer • Builder
I build scalable SaaS products from 0 to 1 — combining engineering rigour with product instinct. 5+ years across the full stack, from low-level native plugins to distributed systems to polished interfaces.
I've founded two companies, shipped products used by tens of thousands of people, and consulted for startups at the intersection of real-time systems, AI, and product strategy.
Outside of work, I'm passionate about table tennis, chai, and reading about the secrets of the world.
