Biography
Rob Davenport is an entrepreneur, engineer, and storyteller building the future of automated media creation. As founder and CTO of Rovidx Media & Consulting Inc., he architects AI-driven pipelines that turn everyday content into polished, multi-format storytelling products.
He leads development of MediaBlaster, a SaaS platform that converts WordPress blogs into studio-quality podcasts with automated scripting, TTS narration, audio engineering, and direct publishing integrations. Rob designs everything from pricing models to the AI agents that write scripts, generate covers, and build entire production flows.
He is also the creator of The Unexplained Company, a narrative network exploring mysteries, UFOs, paranormal encounters, and fringe phenomena. Under this brand he writes, produces, and directs multiple shows—including The Grind, Strange Tales of the Unexplained, and Unexplained News Update—powered by a sophisticated automation stack he built from the ground up.
Rob's background blends full-stack engineering, AI workflows, Docker-based microservice architecture, audio production, and long-form storytelling. He's obsessed with quality, inventive pipelines, and making technology feel like magic for creators. When he's not building systems, he's probably cooking, spending time with his family, or brainstorming the next big story arc.
