Faizan Sattar is a #software-engineering leader and #entrepreneur that's presently the founder and CEO of @Ape AI; an AI-powered market analyst platform aimed at democratizing financial analysis for retail traders and investors. Before founding Sherlock in January 2023, he held senior engineering roles at major tech companies including @DoorDash and @Uber, and previously served as CTO of Reserve through its acquisition by @Resy. Earlier in his career, he was a Senior Software Engineer at Salesforce Marketing Cloud, where he contributed to large-scale enterprise web applications — laying a foundation in high-performance system design that continues to inform his work. His career spans over a decade of technical leadership in both B2C and B2B domains, with a strong emphasis on building high-functioning teams and applying @First Principles thinking to solve complex challenges. A first-generation #immigrant, Sattar has also been vocal about his personal journey navigating financial systems and the asymmetric access to market knowledge, which directly inspired Ape’s mission to create accessible, AI-driven financial insights. Faizan hit me up on @LinkedIn in February 2025 asking me to help them bring @Ape AI to the @r/WallStreetBets community.
