Software engineer building open-source matching tools — and the SaaS funnel that wraps them.

I created the Golden Suite — five Python libraries for checking, transforming, matching, and orchestrating data. Each works standalone, or together as the engine inside bensevern.dev: the matching funnel between your SaaS sources and your warehouse. We collect, match, surface ambiguous clusters for review, and push the resulting golden records out. The customer keeps their data; we're the filter, never the source of truth.

Open-source Suite

GoldenMatchEntity resolution & deduplication
GoldenCheckData-quality scanning
GoldenFlowData transformation & standardization
GoldenPipePipeline orchestration
infermapSchema mapping engine
goldensuite-mcpMCP server exposing all five tools

GoldenMatch also ships native Rust kernels (goldenmatch-native), a TypeScript build (goldenmatch-js), and a Postgres extension (goldenmatch-pg).
