## About

```text
At Manulife, I deliver modernization of policy-admin reporting across new business, underwriting, and claims, alongside Health Insurance Transformation initiatives. I coordinate delivery across geographies as legacy infrastructure moves to a cloud platform.

At InvestCloud, Inc., I shaped digital wealth products for banks across Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan. I led delivery of a multilingual advisory suite adopted by 500+ relationship managers, and directed a Japanese bank's goals-based investment engine.

Outside my enterprise work, I built Finsurehub.com and am building a wealth-management cockpit for Hong Kong and Singapore advisors. It brings together multi-currency portfolios, drift monitoring, proposal governance, and an advisor copilot; I share what I learn about wealth-tech and AI-assisted development.
