Design Partner for AI Founders

About

I'm Ahmed A. Azouzi, product designer and design partner for early-stage AI founders. My background is in full-stack development and digital marketing, which shaped how I think: systems first, not just screens. I've worked with startups at every stage, helping them turn millions in funding into successful products that look right and perform well. When the product needs it, I also handle websites, branding, and marketing collateral.

Do programmers even feel like programmers anymore?

Saw a post from an 8-year dev this week. He said any junior with an agent now matches his output, and he feels no pride left in it. It got huge, because a lot of people quietly feel the same.

I read it from the other side. I'm a designer, not an engineer. For years "can you build this" meant "find someone technical and pray they stay interested." Usually they didn't. AI took the thing that hurt that dev and handed it to me.

Same shift. Loss from one seat, freedom from another.

I'm shipping a Mac app solo right now, as someone who can't write a backend from scratch. Two years ago that was a joke.

I’m planning to launch my first MVP soon – a LinkedIn plugin. What would you recommend I focus on?

For the past 3 months, I ve been building a LinkedIn extension that tracks activity and helps users avoid getting restricted or flagged by LinkedIn by quantifying their actions over time.

It s based on a problem I ve experienced myself, and (as bad as this might sound) I m hoping I m not the only one who has this problem.

What was the hardest thing you've experienced in business?

Everyone perceives entrepreneurship completely differently, and the weight of certain challenges varies from case to case. You always see things differently depending on the stage of life and business you're in, because your position is different each time.

  • When I was a teenager my biggest problem was "What will people think of me when I will start doing this?"

  • In my early twenties my biggest problem was "What if I can't figure out accounting, taxes, legal stuff?"

  • Now I have a different problem how do I scale something?
