Top SchoolLuqmaan Dawoodjee is a founder and full-stack engineer with 15 years of experience building and shipping product—from founding a dev shop in college to leading frontend teams and serving as a tech lead at Meta's VR/Reality Labs. He creates pragmatic, user-focused systems at scale: at Meta he launched the Horizon Mobile Design System adopted across 10,000+ call sites, improved Quest BLE pairing to 99%, and drove a VR referrals experiment to $1M+ MRR. Today he runs KickDB, evolving a sneaker search into AI-powered product intelligence and shipping multimodal search, RAG-driven hotel automation, and a privacy-first encrypted mobile journaling app. Strong across React, React Native, TypeScript, Python, GraphQL, Postgres, Redis, and AWS, he’s recently focused on LLM applications—embeddings, vector search, tool calling, and GPU batch inference. Known for shipping fast, mentoring teams, and turning infrastructure into productized experiences, he blends founder grit with discipline from running large-scale org-wide migrations and runbooks. Based in LA and open to staff/senior IC roles, he combines engineering depth with a practical product sensibility.
