## About

Diyaz Yakubov is a founder and engineer with 14+ years of experience leading the design and delivery of complex systems, from on-premise devices to cloud-native AI platforms. He is the founder of busypipe, a social intelligence platform that turns the noise of social media into signal creators, marketers, and analysts can act on. Most recently at DISQO he built the production AI data pipelines behind business decisions — ~90% classification accuracy at millions of requests a day — and shipped a browser extension now used by 100,000+ people. Alongside busypipe he advises a select few teams on adopting AI that survives production, and mentors engineers. He holds a Master's in Software Engineering from Tampere University (Finland) and a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering from EKSTU (Kazakhstan).
