About

I'm Doug Borg

Most of my career has been the systems behind the software: the builds, tests, deployments and secrets that let other engineers ship without worrying. At Apple I maintained the CI/CD configuration schema teams across the company used to build and deploy, and I built the system that delivered secrets to those builds safely.

Then I spent two years inside a small manufacturer, running purchasing and business systems and using AI to take the tedious work off people's plates. I know what production reliability looks like at a big company, and what a small business can realistically afford.

Anyone can build working software with AI now. I help make it software you can trust.
