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.
