Hi, I’m Awais 👋 — a product-minded engineer at Figma in New York. Previously, I founded a US immigration startup on an O-1 visa and worked at Wave (YC ’12) building financial infrastructure for Africa, from the very early days to a $1.7B valuation . Before that, I studied physics and philosophy at Harvard and backpacked around India.
