David Wolf · Portfolio Use Case
Leading product and engineering for a 2B-page open-source intelligence platform using high-throughput crawling, PostgreSQL-scale ingest, ML, NLP, clustering, search analytics, and graph visualization.
Led product and engineering for Syntryx, an open-source intelligence platform for multi-channel web and behavioral data, managing an 11-person team, serving 100+ enterprise clients, driving approximately $2M ARR, and operating a PostgreSQL-backed platform with more than 2B crawled pages, high-throughput ingest, machine learning, NLP, clustering, search analytics, and semantic graph visualization.

Product Leadership, Engineering Leadership, OSINT Platform
The Context
Syntryx was an early web-intelligence and OSINT platform built around multi-channel behavioral data. The work predated much of today's language around growth intelligence, graph analytics, and AI-assisted market research, but the underlying problem was familiar: collect messy public data, normalize it, analyze it, and make it useful.
The Challenge
The product had to operate at web scale while still producing customer-facing insight. Crawling billions of pages was only useful if the platform could extract signal from domains, keywords, ads, links, and search-ranking patterns.
What I Did
The Outcome
The Syntryx work became a foundation for David's later security and AI career: large-scale telemetry, schema design, graph thinking, ML-assisted analysis, and evidence-driven storytelling all appear again in SIEM research, Device Cloud analytics, AI automation, and product-security work.

Public-Safe Caveat
This case study is grounded in the uploaded resume's Syntryx role description. Customer names, proprietary algorithms, internal architecture details, private datasets, source code, and financial records are omitted. Public publication should confirm whether Syntryx client and revenue metrics may be displayed as written.
