Top SchoolShah Kashani is a senior software engineer with 10+ years building high-performance web platforms and creator tools, currently contributing to Spotify’s Podcaster Mission from Paris. He blends front-end craftsmanship and design sensibility with backend infrastructure experience, having driven massive optimizations (e.g., shrinking build times from minutes to seconds) and platform rearchitectures at Tumblr. Comfortable shipping end-to-end features, Shah has led teams, improved CI/CD and deployed services on Kubernetes while working across React, Node.js, Docker and observability tooling. His background ranges from fintech and consulting to founding a startup and serving as a CTO, giving him both product intuition and operational rigor.
