Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThariq Ridha is a product-focused founding engineer and former Senior Product Manager with 11 years of engineering and product experience, based in San Francisco. He scaled messaging and avatar experiences at Roblox—leading 0→1 launches like Party, TextChatService, and avatar face-tracking that moved millions of daily users to a modern, extensible communications platform. Equally comfortable shipping code and product specs, he orchestrated cross-org execution under regulatory pressure and designed developer-facing APIs to unlock new extensibility for creators. Now building post-training infrastructure for AI engineers at Castform, he blends platform thinking with hands-on prototyping rooted in his Stanford CS background and early iOS and robotics work. Colleagues know him for rapid tactical execution across safety, legal, and engineering boundaries, and for turning research-y ideas (layered clothing, avatar deformation) into shipping features.
