Building automation at scale, apps from scratch, and stories worth telling.
ABOUT ME
I'm a Corporate Systems Automation Engineer at DoubleVerify (Nasdaq: DV) — building the infrastructure that runs behind a 1,000+ person public company. 300+ automated workflows. 100,000+ hours saved annually. Compliance frameworks that satisfy SOX, SOC, MRC, FTI, and ISO 27001 auditors. But engineering is only part of the story. I also ship iOS apps independently, train frontier AI models, and have published three books. I build things end to end — from architecture to deployment — and I don't stop until it actually works.
