Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolArmin Najafi is a Founding Engineer and CTO at a stealth AI startup in Seattle with nine years of experience building production AI and data infrastructure. He previously drove analytics and AI infrastructure work across multiple Amazon teams, including AWS Analytics and a stint on Amazon AGI, bringing production-grade engineering to large-scale ML systems. His background spans research software engineering at Ericsson to hands-on data infrastructure roles in gaming and fintech, giving him a rare cross-domain perspective on reliability, performance, and pragmatic ML deployment. Trained with an MAS in Software Engineering and a BS in Electrical Engineering, he blends rigorous academic foundations with practical, outcome-focused development. Colleagues know him for moving fast from prototype to production and for pairing system-level thinking with attention to data engineering details that rarely make headlines. He also labels himself simply as an AI developer on GitHub, signaling a bias toward building useful models and tooling rather than just publishing papers.
