What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and professional growth.

I'm a technically adept software engineer with a strong background in fintech and market data, currently expanding my expertise into mobile app development using React Native and Expo. My passion lies in building scalable applications that not only streamline operations but also enhance user experiences and achieve strategic objectives.

As the founder and lead developer of Faithlink, I designed and deployed a React Native Expo app for church management, successfully onboarding Calvary Charismatic Baptist Church. My experience at Morgan Stanley involved designing and maintaining market data applications, transforming raw data into standardized formats, and building scalable data transformation pipelines. I have also developed trade-execution software and provided technical consultancy to institutional clients, showcasing my ability to collaborate effectively and deliver robust solutions.
