Top SchoolAli Zaidi is an engineering leader with two decades of experience building data-intensive production systems and leading cross-functional teams across startups, government and enterprise.

As founder/CTO at Dripl he created consumer-facing no-code and education apps with tens of thousands of users and built tooling for rapid GDS-aligned service development. In government roles he accelerated delivery of complex, regulated services—designing rollout plans, reducing technical debt and embedding Lean product practices.
