01 / about

Who is Yazan?

I'm a first-year at Harvard College. I was accepted to both Harvard and MIT — and chose Harvard, because I believe the biggest things get built by people who can both engineer and lead.

I care about one question: what makes people better together than alone? Every product I work on, and the network this site hosts, is an attempt at an answer.

03 / the network

The Network

enter →

The part other personal sites don't have: a curated, publicly visible network of likeminded builders. Every member applied, and I said yes personally. It's small on purpose.
