I'm Evan Carmi, an engineering leader transitioning into entrepreneurship.

What I Do Best

I'm a fast and lifelong learner with a growth mindset, focused on meaningful work that creates values-aligned impact. My technical expertise spans full-stack development with Node.js, React, TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, and AI technologies including product AI, RAG systems, and generative models. What drives me is using technology to genuinely help people, with an approach rooted in autonomy, spaciousness, and deep connection.

My Journey

I've spent nearly two decades building software for the internet, working with companies like Airbnb, The New York Times, and multiple startups, plus time as a consultant. As an IC software engineer, I transitioned into engineering management and led a high-performing team at Airbnb during the tumultuous COVID period, focusing on people—their goals, learning, needs, and challenges—to build focused and effective teams.

Now I'm making my biggest transition yet: moving from building software for other businesses toward creating new businesses and projects from the ground up. The flexibility, ownership, and vision alignment of creating something myself appeals to me, with the ultimate goal of having my own company so I can maximize time with my family.

What Guides Me

My work is anchored in clarity, communication, and vision. I believe in the power of meaningful work that creates genuine impact, approaching collaboration with autonomy and spaciousness while maintaining deep human connection. Technology should support and enhance human life, not complicate it.

Current Focus

I'm exploring AI-empowered software and how AI tooling can support humans, life, and more local and sustainable businesses. I'm fascinated by the rapidly changing landscape of AI and software engineering, always asking: how can we create software that truly serves people?
