About Me
I'm Ziyad Mir, a Software Engineer with over 13 years of experience deploying real AI-based solutions in enterprises across Fortune 150 companies, Google/YouTube, Uber, Opendoor, and Quora.
I specialize in deploying enterprise-scale AI solutions that drive real business value. At a Fortune 150 e-commerce company, I've led the Enterprise AI Initiative, transforming how thousands of engineers leverage AI tools, building agent orchestration platforms, and establishing AI observability systems that have fundamentally changed engineering productivity.
Previously at Google/YouTube, I drove multiple projects generating hundreds of millions in incremental ARR through Brand Advertising innovations and ML integration with Google DeepMind. My technical expertise spans distributed systems, ML productionization, and building developer tools at scale.
I graduated from the University of Waterloo with a degree in Systems Design Engineering, where I studied Product Design, Machine Learning, Data Structures and Algorithms, Optimization, Systems Design, and Economics.
