Technical platform lead for United Creatives, an MT & MNA Ventures platform that protects digital creative ownership at web scale. As lead architect, I own the technical foundation end to end and run the team building it. The platform finds where a client's images surface across the web and turns each match into an actionable case, all behind a customer application with single sign-on, commerce, billing, and real-time operations.
I designed and built a multi-service crawler infrastructure that detects unauthorized image use, combining proxy management, large-scale browser automation, and review workflows. Reverse-image search runs across multiple providers, with perceptual hashing and deduplication at scale, and was hardened over several production audit cycles. I also shipped the customer-facing application and an internal cross-browser research extension for the team's investigation and verification work.
It runs self-hosted on bare-metal Linux as a multi-environment deployment across services, datastores (relational, document, and in-memory), and job queues, instrumented for production. It has to stay fast, correct, and up, because real revenue and real legal outcomes depend on it.
