The team
We use initials, not faces, because the work should stand on its own. Every member of the team has a documented track record on the archive — number of platforms tested, number of articles edited, number of pins designed. If a piece has someone's initials on it, they own that work.
Lead Tester
Apps & Surveys
Background in operations research. Joined the archive after a year spent personally testing every survey site and microtask app on the major rankings. Runs the testing protocol for time-to-payment claims and writes most of our app reviews. Also responsible for our spreadsheet of every payout we've ever received (177 entries and counting).
Expertise
Editor & Fact-Checker
Editor & Fact-Checker
Former financial-services compliance writer. Reads every article before it ships and verifies every number, every payment method, and every external claim. Also responsible for our update tracking — when a platform changes its pay rate, M.A. is the reason the article gets updated within the week.
Expertise
AI & Automation Lead
AI & Automation Lead
Software engineer turned solopreneur. Runs all the AI-tool tests, builds our internal scripts for prompt benchmarking, and writes the “X working method as of [month]” updates that go on AI articles. Also the person who decided we should test AI methods at three skill levels: total beginner, comfortable user, and power user.
Expertise
Pinterest & Distribution
Pinterest & Distribution
Came up through the niche-blog ecosystem and ran a faceless Pinterest account that crossed 1M monthly views before joining. Designs every pin set we publish, writes our Pinterest case studies, and runs our hidden-pin-set system on every article so saving works on mobile and desktop.
