Backend-focused engineer at Leasecake who built a real-time lease accounting data integrity checker for ASC 842 and IFRS 16 reporting.

United States
Message

At Leasecake, I built a real-time data integrity checker in the report delivery pipeline, improving pre-delivery error detection by 100%. I worked on the ASC 842 and IFRS 16 compliance engine, maintaining report suites for amortization schedules, disclosures, rollforwards, and journal entries.

I also stepped into a de facto TPM role for Accounting v4, maintaining the dependency map and tracking the critical path. I onboarded an incoming Chief Accounting Officer, created the Accounting Wiki, and presented the business opportunity in LLMs to the company.
