Hey, I'm Zakir 👋

I’m a founder and product builder working on the future of startup hiring.

I’m currently a Co-Founder at Stride, a hiring partner for startup founders and early teams. We help founders define what they actually need, run a customized search around that context, and screen for it upfront, so founders only spend time with strong fits.

Before Stride, I spent over a decade building products across Microsoft, Amazon, Shift, Hopin/RingCentral, and Zocdoc. I’ve worked on marketplaces, consumer products, B2B SaaS, and healthcare. A lot of that work involved the same underlying challenge: helping people make better decisions in complex systems where the signal is messy and the stakes are high.
