I build financial systems.
Then I ship them.

Work
Finnav
+“Built because Gen Z students open a TFSA and do nothing with it.”
Investment Board
+“Retail investors make decisions based on gut and Reddit. This changes that.”
Monvo
+“Canada has no open banking. So I parsed the PDFs myself.”
Bare Thoughts
+“A DTC brand built on concept. Not price. Not volume.”
100+ Stock Market Resources
+“380 people bought it. First proof I could ship something people wanted.”
Thinking
“Most financial apps treat users like they're passive. The product should meet them where they are, not wait for them to show up.”
“Running 35 teams taught me that alignment is a product. Most PMs forget to ship that too.”
“Shipping alone is harder and more honest. No one else to blame when something breaks. That's the point.”
About
Strategy and execution in the same person.
I build fintech products end to end. From problem definition to live product. Four shipped, all self-built. My edge is the combination: I ran delivery across 35+ teams at American Express and shipped production code solo.
