The People Behind Your Financial Security

We started Desktop Digital Connect because we believed businesses deserved smarter, more intuitive risk assessment tools. What began as late-night conversations about flawed financial systems has grown into Thailand's most trusted AI-powered risk evaluation platform.

How We Actually Started

Back in 2019, Kiran and I were working at different financial firms in Bangkok. We kept running into the same problem — risk assessment tools that took forever to process applications and somehow still missed obvious red flags. During one particularly frustrating week where we'd seen three obviously problematic loans get approved, we decided something had to change.

The idea wasn't revolutionary at first. We just wanted to build something that could spot patterns humans consistently missed, but do it faster and more accurately. We spent weekends testing algorithms on anonymized data sets, gradually realizing we were onto something significant.

By 2022, we had our first working prototype. By 2024, local businesses started asking if they could use our system. Now we're processing thousands of assessments monthly for companies across Thailand, and honestly, we're still a bit surprised by how much this has grown.

The Team Making It Happen

Darnell Kestenberg

Co-Founder & Risk Analysis Lead

Darnell spent eight years at Kasikorn Bank's risk department before jumping ship to build something better. He's the one who figured out how to make our AI actually understand Thai business patterns instead of just applying Western financial models. When he's not debugging algorithms, he's probably explaining to clients why our system flagged something their previous assessments missed.

Kiran Volkov

Co-Founder & Technical Architecture

Kiran handles the technical side that keeps everything running smoothly. She built our core processing system from scratch and somehow made it both incredibly fast and surprisingly intuitive to use. Before this, she was developing trading algorithms for investment firms, but got tired of building tools that only helped people who already had plenty of money. She likes solving problems that actually matter.

What Actually Drives Us

Real Accuracy

We measure our success by how often we're right, not by how impressive our technology sounds. Our algorithms are trained on actual Thai business data, not generic global datasets.

Transparent Process

When our system flags a risk, we explain exactly why. No black box decisions or mysterious scoring systems. You get clear reasoning you can actually understand and act on.

Practical Results

We focus on giving you insights you can actually use to make better business decisions. Speed matters, but only if the analysis is genuinely helpful for your specific situation.
