The through line
I have a Master's in Industrial-Organizational Psychology and a decade of experience building data systems inside large financial institutions. That intersection is exactly why I build what I build.
I/O Psychology explores how people behave in organizations — what motivates them, what derails them, and how to measure the gap between who someone is and what their environment asks them to be. I spent ten years watching that gap play out at scale across enterprise environments, building the data infrastructure to measure it.
The pattern was always the same: organizations make consequential decisions about people using systems never designed to understand them. Keyword-matching resumes. Engagement surveys nobody reads. Risk frameworks that count activity instead of measuring outcomes. The tools were wrong for the problem.
So I started building different ones. JobPolaris came from watching people — including myself — struggle to find work that fit who they were rather than just what they'd done. DyadQuotient applies the same instinct to relationships. Every application is anchored in validated psychometric research before a single line of code or AI prompt is written.
That's the through line. Not security. Not compliance. Human systems — and the tools that help people understand them.
