About

I’m Imdad Ali Khan, a DevOps Engineer & Full-stack Developer helping startups and teams launch AI-driven platforms quickly and scale them without friction.

With over years at Youtoo Inc, I’ve led engineering teams and built products from scratch to production across web, mobile, and backend systems. My work spans Ruby on Rails, FastAPI, React Native, and cloud-native deployments on AWS & Hetzner.

Outside of my professional role, I built OwlBrief, my personal AI-powered news summarization platform — a showcase of my end-to-end capabilities.
