You can't solve the matching problem with bad data.

I am a Principal Data Analyst by trade. I've spent my career architecting systems that handle complex, sensitive information. In my world, data integrity is the only thing that matters.

But when I looked at the modern dating landscape, I saw a data disaster.

The industry runs on dirty inputs — bots, fake profiles, unverified claims, and zero accountability. I realized that the reason people struggle to find the right match isn't because the algorithms are broken; it's because the data is flawed. You can't do the math on people who don't exist.

I started GuyID to solve this engineering problem. The goal was simple: build a reputation protocol where identity is verified first, so everything that comes after is real.
