About Me

Engineering Leader.
AI-First.

Yash Yadav

Yash Yadav

// Technical Program Manager

Seasoned Technical Program Manager with 16+ years driving complex programs across Networking, E-Commerce, GIS, Manufacturing, and Banking. I combine deep engineering roots (Java, Node.js, Python, AWS) with executive-level stakeholder management to deliver outcomes that matter.


Based in Noida, India — open to global remote opportunities in TPM, Engineering Lead, and Delivery Leadership roles.

AI-First Engineering Leader

I actively integrate Claude Code, Cursor, GitLab Duo, and Antigravity into every phase of delivery — from sprint planning to code review to release — enabling my teams to move at 10x the traditional pace.

What sets me apart: an uncompromising AI-first mindset. I don't just adopt tools — I embed them deep into delivery pipelines, team culture, and governance frameworks. Every manual process gets questioned. Every repetitive task gets automated. Every decision gets supported by data and AI-assisted analysis.

AI Toolkit

Powered by AI. Every Day.

I don't just manage teams — I arm them with the best AI tools available and lead from the front.

Agentic AI

Claude Code

My command center for agentic workflows. I use Claude Code to navigate codebases, automate multi-step dev pipelines, write and run tests, and ship features via natural language instructions — reducing manual engineering overhead by up to 40%.

AI IDE

Cursor

AI-native editor I rely on for intelligent code completion, context-aware refactoring, and rapid prototyping. Takes me from idea to working code in hours instead of days.

DevOps AI

GitLab Duo

Integrated AI across my entire CI/CD workflow. Duo Chat for in-IDE debugging, Code Suggestions for development, MR Summaries for auto-generated reviews, Vulnerability Explanation for security triage, and Root Cause Analysis for failed pipelines.

AI Accelerator

Antigravity

Pushes delivery velocity beyond conventional limits — identifying bottlenecks, automating workflow steps, and helping teams focus human effort exactly where it matters.

LLM Skill

Prompt Engineering

Crafting precise, context-rich prompts that reliably extract high-quality outputs from LLMs across coding, documentation, planning, and decision-support.

Engineering

LLM Integration

Hands-on experience integrating Claude, GPT-4 and other LLMs into products and internal tooling — API design, prompt pipelines, evaluation, and production deployment.

Leadership

AI-First Culture

I champion an AI-first mindset across teams — every manual process gets questioned. This drives measurable improvements in quality, planning accuracy, and delivery speed.
