I'm Yunus — an engineer with 12+ years scaling developer-focused SaaS and observability platforms. Founding engineer at SigNoz, running a cross-functional team of frontend and backend engineers building AI-powered product surfaces, the engineering culture that ships them, and the systems that hold it together. Before this: Harness (EM, team of 16), Postman, Morgan Stanley.
Four roles that defined the last decade — from founding teams to leading them, from finance to developer tools.
Working across AI, product, and frontend for the SigNoz observability platform — OSS, Cloud, Enterprise, and Self-Hosted. Run a cross-functional team of frontend and backend engineers. Recent: AI-powered Playwright E2E platform that plans, generates, and self-heals tests; company-wide design system; Next.js docs migration with 50% faster page loads.
Led a 16-engineer team across Continuous Delivery, Next-Gen CD, and GitOps. Drove the frontend delivery for a critical GitOps POC that landed a $4M+/year enterprise agreement. Hired, coached, and architected reusable UI libraries that accelerated delivery across product lines.
Built core UI in the Postman application and Documentation workflows in React + Redux. Led end-to-end internationalisation across major workflows, enabling expansion into new regions. Contributed to the Design System initiative across multiple pods.
Designed and shipped a config-driven workflow generation platform for Private Wealth Management — letting business teams build complex workflows without engineering. Highly interactive, performance-focused interfaces under regulatory and audit constraints.
Engineering across AI, product, and frontend. Cross-functional team of frontend and backend engineers shipping observability features at OSS, Cloud, Enterprise, and Self-Hosted scale.
Led 16 engineers across CD, Next-Gen CD, and GitOps. Drove a $4M+/year enterprise agreement via a critical GitOps POC. Hired, coached, and architected reusable UI libraries.
Postman application + Documentation workflows in React/Redux. Led i18n across major workflows, enabling regional expansion. Contributed to the cross-pod Design System initiative.
Config-driven workflow generation platform for Private Wealth Management. Business teams could ship complex workflows without engineering. Compliant to financial-industry security and audit standards.
Frontend at an early-stage YC-backed startup. Performance, PWA, and SEO work — Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals chasing.
Responsive corporate apps for an insurance client — registration, quoting, payment and policy management. Lead on internal user-management and self-service modules.
Frontend-deep, product-broad, road-tested across teams. Most of these are daily drivers — depth over tenure.
The things I do when I'm not staring at a terminal — most of them, somehow, also pattern-matching.
Croma Tech Grandmasters Season 3, hosted by NDTV Good Times. Quizzing scratches the same itch that engineering does — pattern-matching, lateral inference, and the small dopamine hit when a fragment of trivia clicks into place.
Plus Product Hunt 2017, AngelHack 2016, and the Infosys Global Hackathon 2016. A weekend forces taste — what to ship, what to drop. Same muscle as running a team, just compressed into 48 hours.
Best for technical conversations, hiring, advising, or saying hi about quizzing. Replies usually within a day.
