Yazan Kittaneh is a Senior Full Stack & AI Engineer based in Chicago with 12 years of experience building performant, production-ready systems that make AI affordable and maintainable in legacy environments. He combines deep front-end expertise in React/Next with backend mastery in Node, Nest.js and on-prem infrastructure, having refactored monoliths into decoupled architectures and reduced crashes and costs through pragmatic optimizations. Yazan has led teams and products end-to-end—from launching an NFT trading platform that scaled to 60,000 users and unlocked $400k in funding to migrating infrastructure to serverless to cut operating expenses. He’s comfortable designing for scale (weighted Nginx, multi-server Node setups, microservices and unified on-prem databases) and builds advanced state and analytics layers that simplify integrations. Known for digging into performance hotspots (300% improvements using profiling tools) and self-hosting compute when it matters, he blends hands-on engineering with architecture leadership to ship resilient systems.
