Trevor Dorsey is a versatile software leader and co-founder with 14 years of experience building products across gaming, web, and financial industries from Los Angeles. He blends hands-on engineering—spanning full-stack web apps, distributed data pipelines, and physical prototyping—with product and systems architecture leadership. At Foyyay he focuses on people-first product development and lasting value, while earlier roles at Clover, PennyMac, and Zindagi delivered scalable search, auth migrations, and a distributed processing platform that leveraged client machines. A pragmatic tinkerer who’s contributed to open-source QuickLook tooling for robust file-type detection, Trevor excels at deconstructing problems from other people’s perspectives to design the right technical approach. He balances entrepreneurial drive with a maker’s curiosity—equally comfortable shipping backend integrations, CAD-level physical prototypes, or mentoring teams.
