Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFarouk Faiz is a software engineer and Co-Founder based in Paris with seven years of experience building scalable, secure systems and AI-first products. After three-plus years at AWS working on Agentic GenAI and large-scale optimizations—cutting graph load times and storage by orders of magnitude—he co-founded Qasten to reimagine collaborative AI workflows for teams. He combines backend performance engineering (Java, large graph optimizations, CI/CD, migrations) with hands-on product work from his time at Uber, 360Learning and startups, shipping tools that reduced failover times and simplified integrations. A security-minded engineer, he led numerous security reviews and implemented a SemVer-backed distribution and CI system used by dozens of developers. Farouk’s work bridges research-grade GenAI features (mainframe modernization) and pragmatic UX-first product thinking—aiming to prevent “shadow AI” through better collaboration primitives. He holds engineering degrees from IMT Atlantique and EURECOM, reflecting strong foundations in software and data science.
