Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYuval Hazaz is a founder and CEO with 7+ years in product-led engineering and a long history of hands-on software development dating back to early enterprise systems. He built and leads Amplication, an influential open-source backend platform, and now heads Overcut to reinvent the SDLC with agentic workflows that automate engineering processes for teams and production. Technically grounded as a backend and database engineer, he contributed to high-impact projects like Amplication’s code generation and blueprint systems, demonstrating deep API, data-model and codegen expertise. Previously he scaled global R&D at Q-nomy to 60+ engineers, owning architecture, product roadmap, and delivery across full-stack, QA and UX teams. Based in Tel Aviv with a BS in Computer Science from Brooklyn College, he blends startup grit, enterprise delivery experience, and a commitment to open-source tooling. A less obvious strength: he moves fluidly between low-level backend design and CEO-level product strategy, enabling rapid iteration from prototype to production.
