Early-career Fullstack Engineer building secure, scalable, user-focused fintech web applications.
What I'm looking for
I am an early-career Fullstack Engineer passionate about building secure, scalable, and user-focused fintech web applications. I work across the stack with TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Node.js to design performant UIs, APIs, and data workflows.
At Equarius Risk Analytics, I improved financial risk model accuracy by 18% and redesigned VaR computations to improve tail risk sensitivity and volatility tracking. I take pride in producing measurable improvements that help clients make confident investment decisions.
My personal projects demonstrate end-to-end product development: FragraMap catalogs and surfaces detailed fragrance metadata; a Movie Web App aggregates trending titles via the MovieDB API; and X-Clone reproduces social feed functionality with real-time authentication and state management.
I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan and hold a Meta Front-End Development certificate. I am eager to contribute to a fast-moving startup transforming digital banking experiences and to continue growing as a pragmatic, product-focused engineer.
