Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAida Issayeva is a Staff Software Engineer and tech lead with 10 years of experience designing and shipping Android products across startups and large enterprises, currently leading POS Productivity at Toast. She combines hands-on architecture (owning product lines and building apps from scratch) with people leadership—having led teams of 13 engineers and driven cross-team modularization and developer-velocity improvements. Her work at Twitter and DoorDash includes creating a server-driven UI framework, migrating design systems, and optimizing compile times and test coverage to accelerate delivery. At Goldman Sachs and Clarity Money she delivered high-impact features that materially increased revenue and reduced regressions through process improvements and dev pairing. A frequent speaker, Android instructor, and Google Developer Expert/Women Techmakers Ambassador, she shares learnings on her blog CupsOfCode and in public talks. Beyond visible achievements, she often focuses on developer experience and scalability trade-offs that quietly reduce team friction and long-term maintenance costs.
