Hi, I’m Awais 👋 — a product-minded engineer at Figma in New York. Previously I built software for US immigration (my O-1 story) and spent 4 years at Wave (YC ’12) building financial infrastructure for Africa, from the early days up to a $1.7B valuation (lessons). I studied physics and philosophy at Harvard and backpacked around India.
