The people behind MrStubs

    Engineering Team

    Engineering Lead

    Our engineering team owns the platform end-to-end: ticketing, payments, door scanning, and the infrastructure that keeps it all online. We run our own servers, watch our own dashboards, and respond to incidents around the clock during live events.

    Credentials: Backed by Black Asterisk LLC engineering practices: incident runbooks, observability dashboards, and a tested disaster-recovery plan with RTO under 15 minutes.

    Customer Support

    Customer Success

    Support is staffed by people who know the product, not a script-reading call center. If you email us during an event, you get a human who can actually look at your event in the dashboard and help.

    Credentials: Direct line to the engineering team during live events. Average first-response under 2 hours during business hours.
