Jimmy Noujaim
CTO at Adalo. Founder. Product builder.
I lead technology at Adalo, where I created Ada, our AI app builder. I also build products through Asynk Tech and explore how AI is changing the way software gets created.
Current
What I'm working on now
My work sits at the intersection of engineering leadership, AI-powered software creation, product strategy, and startup building.
CTO — Adalo
Leading engineering, infrastructure, and technical strategy at Adalo. I conceived, prototyped, and architected Ada — Adalo's AI that builds complete apps.
MoreFounder — Asynk Tech
Building software products, experimenting with new ideas, and helping turn early concepts into real digital businesses.

A few things worth telling stories about
Adalo
CTOAda, Adalo's AI, started as my idea, my prototypes, and my blueprints. It is now generally available — and the apps it generates use 20% less CPU, and up to 32% less while typing.
PlanMyGrid
Product & EngineeringA visual planning tool for Instagram creators — feed preview, a canvas-based drag-and-drop grid, and a scheduling engine that automates publishing.
Shghilni
Product & EngineeringA multi-sided marketplace connecting service providers with customers — matching, real-time availability, and multi-party transactions built from the ground up.
Writing
Latest writing
I write about the decisions, systems, mistakes, and ideas behind building software and leading technology teams.
The Same App, With Less CPU
Twenty thousand posts, two phones, one CPU gauge each. What happens when you rebuild how an app renders instead of asking builders to optimize it.

Why AI App Builders Should Give You Real Code
If an AI builds your app, you should be able to walk away with it. Why we shipped Ada with code export.

Ada Is Live
Ada started as a prototype and a stack of blueprints. Today it's available to everyone — describe your app, Ada builds the real thing, you ship it.

Principles
Things I believe
Software should empower creators.
AI should amplify people, not remove ownership.
Simplicity usually scales better than cleverness.
Internal tools deserve production-level care.
Great engineering begins with clear communication.
The best architecture is the one the team understands.
Off the clock
Beyond the work
When I'm not building or writing, I'm usually watching football, planning the next trip, tinkering with a side project, or chasing a better cup of coffee. The mix keeps the work human.
