I'm a serial entrepreneur and a computer scientist with a minor in cybersecurity. For most of my career I've been building software solutions to problems I kept running into myself.

Working with documents on a computer has always meant juggling tools - a different app for editing PDFs, another for converting them, a third for e-signatures, a fourth for extracting data. Over the years I bought endless software, tried every free online tool with mixed results, and stacked subscription on top of subscription, and I still couldn't find every tool I needed in one place. PDFSub is the platform I always wanted: every PDF and document tool a person or business actually uses, in one subscription, on one screen, without paying five different companies to get a single workflow done.

Years ago - back when getting online meant your modem dialed up the internet like a fax machine calling another fax machine, tying up your only phone line and crawling along at speeds that would make a teenager today close their laptop in disgust - I built a wireless internet service to bypass the phone companies. Wireless gave subscribers an Ethernet-class connection that everyone now takes for granted as broadband, even on their phones. PDFSub follows the same pattern: I look at the friction people put up with every day because nothing better exists, and I build the better thing.
