Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSameel A is a software engineer who has spent the last three years building AI-driven developer tooling and automation, currently helping Browserbase power web access for agents used by Google, Vercel, and Perplexity. He began coding in 2019 building high-throughput automation scripts and quickly parlayed that into startup exits and product-focused roles, including a YC internship where he engineered a generative UI system and a CTO role at a personal finance startup. At Browserbase he contributed to Stagehand, an open-source AI web-browsing framework with 20k+ stars and 2M monthly downloads, improving type consistency and maintainability across the codebase. Sameel prefers projects he can obsess over and prioritizes work that has tangible impact on individual users, combining a penchant for automation with careful engineering. He also engages with the startup and venture community as a Kleiner Perkins engineering fellow and builds for social good through Sawa. Based between San Francisco and New Jersey, he blends fast-paced product experience with open-source discipline and a focus on developer ergonomics.
