Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAri Zade is a creative technologist and founder with a decade of cross-functional experience building web and mobile products, internal tools, and interactive installations. Comfortable shipping end-to-end, Ari moves between JavaScript/React development, Figma design, and Notion documentation while leading product and engineering efforts at early and growth-stage startups. He has led mobile teams and shipped consumer apps at companies like Eaze and maintained core React Native infrastructure at Samsara. As founder of Desk Job Design Lab and operator of Arithmetic, he combines a Brooklyn makerspace practice with fractional CTO work, prototyping everything from AI automations to smart furniture. Ari’s background in mathematics and civic tech — including work on epidemic data tooling for the Census — informs a pragmatic, user- and developer-focused approach to product design. He’s equally at home debugging a React Native bug as he is fabricating a physical prototype, which enables fast, interdisciplinary iteration.
