Profile: https://flows.cv/sameel

hi, my name is sameel. i’m 20 years old and jump around between san francisco and new jersey.

i started coding in 2019 by writing scripts to buy limited-edition sneakers from retailers as soon as they’re released.
in 2020, i exited my first SaaS - i’ve been building at startups ever since.

i’ve been building agents before ai. making people’s lives easier through code and automating the mundane has always fascinated me.

now, i’m working at browserbase where i help companies like google, vercel, and perplexity give their AI access to the web.

things about me:
- i only commit to what i’m able to obsess over, so my work truly represents me
- i love seeing how my work impacts individual people

i post here sometimes, but also active on other platforms!
