So You Want to Know AboutReynolds?
Fair warning: This isn't your typical "visionary founder had an epiphany in a garage" story. This is more like "developer got tired of bad sales experiences and accidentally built something useful."
"This is Reynolds contemplating why humans make lead qualification so complicated."
— Probably accurate caption
The Problem I Actually Had
I run a consulting firm called Dube International. We specialize in automation and cost reduction for private equity, manufacturing, and healthcare companies using AI, ML, and BI - basically making technology actually save money instead of just burning through it.
Here's the thing about consulting: the work is great, but finding clients? That's where things get... awkward. You know how it goes - cold emails that sound like they were written by robots, LinkedIn messages that make you cringe, sales calls that nobody actually wants to be on.
I kept thinking: "There has to be a better way to find people who actually want to have a conversation."
"The look you make when you realize 90% of sales outreach is broken."
"That moment when you realize you've been doing sales backwards this whole time."
The "Wait, Actually..." Moment
So I built Reynolds. Initially just for me - an AI that could actually research prospects, write emails that didn't sound like spam, and figure out who might genuinely want to talk.
Then I had one of those "lightbulb but make it blindingly obvious" moments: The best salespeople I know spend 80% of their time finding conversations instead of having them.
That's backwards. Great salespeople should be talking to people, not playing email tag with strangers who may or may not be interested in what they're selling.
The Core Philosophy That Changed Everything
Humans connect with humans and close deals.
But AI can do the research, write the initial outreach, and figure out who's actually ready to talk. Let the humans do what they're best at: having conversations that matter.

🛠️ The Tech Guy Who Gets Business
I'm a software engineer who builds things with Next.js, Node.js, Python, JavaScript, and C++. But here's the plot twist: I also understand private equity, M&A, and financial markets. Basically, I'm the rare developer who can read both code and balance sheets without having an existential crisis.
Outside of work, I'm a PhD student focusing on AI and its application in colloborative teams. I enjoy travel, cooking, and learning language ... I can order coffee in five languages and can confidently say "where's the bathroom?" in three more.
🐕 Wait, Why Is It Called Reynolds?
Fair question. Reynolds is named after my golden retriever concept of ideal customer service: enthusiastic, reliable, actually listens to what you're saying, and never judges you for your questionable decision-making. Plus, golden retrievers are famously good at fetching things - in this case, qualified leads.
All those dog photos throughout the site? That's the Reynolds energy we're going for: professional but not stuffy, smart but not condescending, and genuinely excited to help you succeed. Also, they're great conversation starters during demos. Win-win.
