Pouya Sanooei

Software Architect

Pouya Sanooei is a software architect at Nylas who makes the high-level design decisions that keep the platform secure, reliable, and fast as it scales. His recent work has centered on Agent Accounts, the system that gives an AI agent its own email address, mailbox, calendar, contacts, and webhooks as first-class infrastructure, with spam detection and rules-based controls over what each agent can send and receive. He also helped ship Nylas API v3, the rebuild that made the platform 2.5x faster and 10x more reliable, and works on the authentication, identity, and deployment layers underneath. He builds primarily in Go, Rust, and Kubernetes across GCP and AWS, with Temporal, HashiCorp Vault, and distributed databases in the mix. His guides cover CLI internals, agent-account workflows, and the commands developers use to send, read, and automate mailbox activity.

Qasim Muhammad

Staff SRE

Qasim Muhammad is a Staff Site Reliability Engineer and software engineer at Nylas, where his recent work has centered on Agent Accounts, Nylas's hosted email and calendar identity for AI agents. He created the Nylas CLI, which signs an agent up and connects a mailbox in a single command, and the nylas/skills toolkit that teaches 30+ coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and others) how to use the platform. He also built the official OpenClaw plugin, giving agents email and calendar access across Gmail, Outlook, Exchange, and 250+ providers on one API key, and runs the deployment infrastructure behind these systems in Go, AWS, GCP, Terraform, and Kubernetes. His guide work connects command behavior, live verification, and AI-readable documentation so developers can automate email safely in scripts and agent runtimes.
