Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFaris Aziz is a Staff Frontend Engineer and payments-focused engineering leader based in Geneva with six years of experience building high-conversion, resilient monetization systems. At Smallpdf he architected the company’s global payments and subscriptions platform—streamlining checkout, enabling rapid gateway rollouts via a reactive orchestration layer, and driving measurable revenue growth (e.g., 3.5× Alipay uplift in Asia). He combines hands-on front-end craftsmanship (70% bundle-size reduction, advanced caching with TanStack Query) with product-minded architecture and observability practices to ship reliable systems at scale. An active open-source contributor and Raycast extensions developer, he builds productivity integrations (Everhour, Growthbook, Coinbase Pro) that bridge front-end UX and backend APIs. Faris also co-founded ZurichJS, mentors at MentorCruise, and brings a founder’s appetite for shipping product-focused engineering solutions. He’s notable for translating chaotic payment landscapes into configurable, testable platforms that accelerate experiments and global rollouts.
