Azim Sonawalla is a seasoned engineer and startup CTO with 11+ years building high-throughput, privacy-conscious systems for advertising, identity, and data movement. As co-founder and CTO at Blueprint Audiences and previously at Portable, he designs cloud-native infrastructure that solves hard integration and compliance problems—most recently creating HIPAA-safe healthcare audiences without profiling. He cut his teeth architecting systems that handled billions of records and millions of real-time auctions per second at Arbor/LiveRamp, and is comfortable leading large teams while remaining a hands-on contributor. Trained in mechanical engineering and technical entrepreneurship at Lehigh, he pairs rigorous engineering discipline with product-minded pragmatism and a knack for rapid, customer-focused pivots. An engineer who gets “dopamine hits” from seeing his work used in production, Azim blends deep systems expertise with a founder’s bias for shipping.
