Summary
Yash Saxena is a founder and full-stack product engineer with 12+ years of experience turning UX-first ideas into scalable production systems. He’s built high-throughput backend services, ad platforms generating ~$10K/day, and data pipelines that power recommendations and real-time monitoring, and has led engineering teams from intern to head of engineering. At Cruise he designed sensor data ingestion and labeling systems for autonomous vehicles, bridging hardware, ML, and infra to productionize complex workflows. He combines deep hands-on skills across front-end, backend, AWS infra, GraphQL, and graph databases with a designer’s sensibility, and is now quietly shipping a next-generation calendar product at Clox.co. Notably, he has repeatedly saved companies significant costs (e.g., $20K/month at Stanza) while increasing engagement through data-driven UX changes.
