About

I’m Kevin Dorfer, a senior software engineer and founder with 15 years of experience building and scaling production systems—from loyalty platforms at Mastercard and Tim Hortons to founding LeadBounty, a referral-marketing SaaS I design, build, and operate end to end. I enjoy owning problems from first product idea through shipping features and running the infrastructure reliably in production.
