Alex Oubari is a designer and amateur chef. He loves human connection, movement, and the sun.

Seven cities before I knew who I was. Milano. Casablanca. Beirut. Paris. Vancouver. Los Angeles. You learn to read rooms fast when you're always the new kid.

I started at startups. Tapcart. Elkouse. Small teams, fast decisions, everything on the line. Then Postmates. Got acquired by Uber and suddenly I was inside a much larger room. Then Rivian. Then Block (Cash App). Larger and larger. I started missing the hunger.

Now AI is bringing it back. I'm watching my job change in real time. Tools I used last year feel ancient, problems I couldn't touch alone are suddenly within reach. It feels like year one again. I'm having a blast and I'm only getting started.

I move most mornings. Not only for fitness, but mostly to think. I cook a lot and obsessively. Even ran an underground restaurant in college. Best time of my life. I have a baby who doesn't sleep. I'm building a side project at midnight.

I'm probably interested in what you're working on.
