At Acorns, I work on the Android app, including Benefits features such as Tax Filing, life insurance, and Trusted Contacts. I built Tax Filing twice, and invested refunds through the feature have passed $1M.
I also built chat widgets for Ask Acorns, Acorns’ in-app AI assistant, taking an investment performance widget from its Apollo GraphQL query through to a reusable Jetpack Compose chart. I migrated Benefits from XML views to Jetpack Compose and the Grove design system.
Before Acorns, I was CTO at Pentabin, where I led the Android team building mobile products. I built TourniPOS, a point-of-sale app for street vendors that passed 50,000 Play Store downloads, and DistriTour, a field sales and delivery platform.
I created PlugBrain, an open-source focus app that uses adaptive math challenges to unlock distracting apps. It has 5,000 users and is published on Google Play and F-Droid; I also built LivingRoom, an Android library that generates Room boilerplate.
