Navid Nabavi is an engineering manager with 11+ years of experience building and scaling map, search, and platform systems, currently leading multiple Map teams at Snapp! in Tehran. He combines hands-on software and SRE expertise with ML-driven product delivery, having launched POI deduplication, category recommendation, and ML-based feedback resolution pipelines that reduced manual operations and infrastructure costs. Navid has a strong background in cloud-native infrastructure and API gateways, having designed a Contour/Envoy gateway used across the Snapp Group and led platform billing and customer panels. He pairs formal research experience in distributed systems and robotics with practical team-building—mentoring engineers, promoting technical ownership, and moving teams from manual processes to automation. Comfortable bridging product and engineering, he uses EDA and measurable OKRs to translate metrics into prioritized roadmaps. An uncommon strength is his track record of transitioning roles (e.g., analyst to data scientist) and redesigning org structures to enable independent, impact-driven teams.
