Ex-Stripe — Core Compute Infrastructure
Ex-Amazon (AWS) — EC2 AutoScaling
10+ years running SMB SEO & Google Ads

Before Septra, I spent years on the infrastructure teams that keep the internet's money and compute running: at AWS, I designed the EC2 AutoScaling Warm Pools feature, scaling to over 10,000 instance launches a minute. At Stripe, I was a founding member of the Core Compute team, shipping a zero-incident package mirroring system that held up through Black Friday and Cyber Monday traffic. That's the engineering bar Septra is built to.

In parallel, for over a decade, I built and ran my own portfolio of digital businesses — through Digital Marketing Systems and later CoolBacker, doing the unglamorous operational grind of SEO, content, and monetization on tight margins myself. I've also taken on independent infrastructure consulting through SC Jain Technologies. That hands-on operating experience, not just theory, is what Septra is built to automate for its customers.

"I've felt the pain of manual SMB marketing operations firsthand, and I've spent years building infrastructure that has to be trusted not to fail. Septra exists because I finally had both halves of what it takes to automate this job for real — not a demo, an autonomous system you can actually rely on."

After Stripe, I took a few deliberate months to travel before committing fully to Septra. Since going live in April 2026, Septra has run real Google Ads and SEO campaigns for paying clients — and I've since also shipped Tasklix, a second product, demonstrating the same build-and-ship velocity independently.

Based in Vancouver, remote-first, and having worked from more than 20 countries, we help property managers, skilled trades, and professional service firms across North America automate the busy work that prevents them from scaling — whether that's self-serve software or a fully managed AI Brain.
