Top SchoolAsh Samhouri is a founder-CEO and hands-on engineer building Activepieces, an open-source alternative to Zapier that focuses on AI-driven workflow automation and 200+ integrations. With three years of startup leadership in San Francisco and a decade-plus coding journey that began in his teens, he blends product vision with backend engineering—contributing concrete integrations and validators to the Activepieces repo.
