Tarif Kayali is an engineering manager with 13 years of experience leading web platform and UI engineering at scale, currently managing the Platform team within Apple’s Commerce Web UI organization in New York. He has driven cross-platform web component libraries, monorepo and TypeScript modernizations, visual regression testing, A/B testing infrastructure, and early generative AI feature exploration across iOS, macOS, tvOS and visionOS. Known for revamping processes—RFCs, mentorship programs, staging deployments, and developer experience surveys—he balances hands-on product work (subscriptions, auth, country-switch flows) with operational leadership. Tarif combines deep front-end expertise with infrastructure and release engineering, and has repeatedly delivered features showcased on major Apple stages. Off-hours he’s a two-time fantasy football league champion, a small but revealing signal of his competitive strategy and team-building instincts.
