Hi, I'm Yash a 24-year-old engineer who simplifies complexity through analogies. I write about GenAI systems, developer tools, and engineering workflows, breaking down concepts like Git (through Polaroids), OOP (through illusions), and production systems (through real lessons from shipping code). By day, I build GenAI production platforms at Persistent Systems (CTO Innovation Unit), where I've led projects that reduced client work from months to hours, built GitHub Copilot extensions for legacy modernization, and shipped production systems with paying clients. I've also mentored 22+ students (many now in full-time roles) and lead the AWS User Group. I've been recognized with the Top Talent Award (FY25), Bravo Individual Award (FY26 Q2), and Bravo Award (Q4 FY24) for my work on GenAI platforms, AWS collaboration, mentorship, and delivery excellence. I'm tied to solving problems, not just writing code. If you're here for honest, no-BS takes on tech, career stuff, and early engineering learnings welcome. Let's figure things out together.
