Our Story
Brothers. Engineers. Transformation Specialists.
Double Agent was founded by Viv Austin and Mark Austin—brothers with over 60 years of combined experience in software engineering and IT infrastructure.
We saw firsthand how unstructured AI adoption was creating security risks, wasted investment, and team burnout. So we built a methodology to do it right.
Meet the Founders
With 30 years of enterprise software experience in the banking sector, Viv rose to Director level overseeing large-scale development initiatives. He brings deep expertise in software architecture, team evolution, and high-stakes technology transformation.
"AI shouldn't replace developers—it should unlock their strategic potential. Our goal is to amplify capability, not automate people out."
With 30 years in IT infrastructure and a background as an Infrastructure Architect, Mark understands how AI tools impact system architecture, deployment, and operations. He's spent the past year immersed in AI-assisted coding and iterative design frameworks.
"We built Double Agent to help real teams integrate AI practically—balancing the demands of speed, security, and scale."
