Top SchoolYash Saxena is a founder and full-stack product engineer with 12+ years of experience turning UX-first ideas into scalable production systems.

At Cruise he designed sensor data ingestion and labeling systems for autonomous vehicles, bridging hardware, ML, and infra to productionize complex workflows.
