Building Yanib · Software Engineer at Fluid Commerce

Lehi, UT — USA

Selected work

Proof over promises.

Products, research, and systems built for the real world—where the work has users, constraints, and somewhere to go.

About

Engineer by craft. Builder by default.

I'm a software engineer based in Lehi, Utah.

I'm currently building Yanib — an AI-powered release-notes platform for dev teams and individual engineers. It's the bridge between shipping something and the world actually hearing about it. Connect a GitHub or GitLab repo and Yanib watches every PR and commit in the background, drafting a clean, structured changelog on every tag — or fully on autopilot, with zero clicks.

Yanib publishes everywhere at once: GitHub Releases, a public changelog page, Slack, Discord, email subscribers, and an embeddable widget. Every user also gets a public /u/username profile — an AI-written tagline, a 365-day shipping heatmap, pinned featured releases, and a grouped timeline of everything they've ever shipped.

I also work as a Software Engineer at Fluid Commerce. On the side I publish small things — research like TriGuard, hackathon builds, and open-source CLI tools.

The route so far

Built across teams, countries, and constraints.

A working history shaped by ownership: from support and client work to production systems, AI products, and company building.

Toolkit

The tools change. The standards don’t.

I pick the stack that gets a dependable product into people’s hands, then keep the implementation legible enough to evolve.
