Hi, I'm Yousif

I'm a technical founder and product leader originally from Baghdad, Iraq. I started my career fixing gaming consoles and selling computer parts before working as a translator for the U.S. Army and transitioning into software development. I came to the United States as a refugee in 2008 and have been building products ever since. Learn more: yabood.com/about
