Top SchoolSteven Tey is a founder and full‑stack software leader based in Seattle with six years of experience building developer-first web platforms. As Founder & CEO of Dub.co he builds modern link attribution and short-link infrastructure used by teams at Twilio, Perplexity, Vercel and others, bridging marketing needs with robust backend APIs.

A Minerva University computer science graduate and serial founder (One Word Domains), he pairs product instincts with hands-on engineering to tackle attribution and growth challenges.
