Why Fintech?
Short Answer:
I do finance. I do tech. So it makes sense that I do Fintech.
Long Answer:
1) My background - Fintech puts my 4 years of finance training and 6 years of software-building to their best use, merging my passions for both code and capital.
2) Dynamic Environment - Fintech is a fast-paced environment so there's always something new to learn, be it regulation, market trends, or technological shifts.
3) Interdisciplinary Talent - Fintech brings together experts from many fields, all of whom I'm excited to learn from; can't wait to pick their brains 🧠

Featured Projects
Some stuff I've tinkered with
Startup Studio
Lean Start Lab
I love startups and obsess with taking things from 0 to 1. Lean Start Lab is the manifestation of that obsession.
I've helped dozens of early-stage startups test their ideas, raise seed funding, and launch MVPs 🚀
Startup MVP Go-To-Market
Full Stack Web App
AI Playground
The best way to learn AI is to play with it.
That's my motto for AI Playground, a collection of simple AI tools for people (mostly my university friends) to experience gen-AI for themselves while having fun with it.
OpenAI React Next.js
Healthcare SaaS Platform
Nemechek Navigator
A searchable knowledge base for Dr. Nemechek's content.
Designed for on-demand Q&A through a Google-like interface, the platform has seen 60,000+ questions asked and answered since launch, helping patients achieve speedier recovery.
OpenSearch Airtable Mixpanel
Financial Data Analysis
US Banking Failures
In the midst of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, I was curious about the history of US banking failures.
So I used Python (and ChatGPT) to crunch the numbers on 100+ years of data, then wrote a report + a tweet storm.

Software Solution Research
Insurance KYC/AML
Know-Your-Customer (KYC) / Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) is crucial for a multibillion-dollar insurance company.
To help them modernize the onboarding experience, I put together a vetted list of KYC/AML vendors.

Finance Capstone
Kohler Valuation
A comprehensive valuation exercise of Kohler's minority share, this case forced me to use all of the financial analysis techniques I learned during my Master of Finance, as a capstone project should. Now I'm an MF 😉.
DCF Multiples WACC
Financial Simulations
Monte Carlo Simulation
Financial modeling is nothing more than making educated guesses, so instead of making just 5 or 10 such guesses, why not make 1,000 or even 10,000 of them?
That's where the Monte Carlo Simulation comes in.

Financial Forecast
Adjusted Present Value
It's tough to value a company who is changing how it uses debt with a traditional Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model.
I used the Adjusted Present Value (APV) method to separate the value of the company and of its debt use into 2 parts.

Startup Pitch
AI Scenario Tester
Finance is forward-looking, and looking forward is all about asking series of What-Ifs.
Toggle.AI makes answering What-Ifs extremely easy, so I shared it with colleagues from my master of finance program.
