Tengo
Wealth-management platform, New York
Software that does in minutes what a room of specialists does by hand in spreadsheets: fitting the
instrument that has protected fortunes for generations to each client it is built for. Building the
platform and the agentic automation behind it, alongside a CEO from Apple Retail and a COO from FIS.

BlockCopy
Real-time copy trading, pre-launch
Followers don't copy a lead trader's trade after the fact. They join the same block and fill at the same
price in the same moment, with zero slippage, and can detach mid-fill while the block resizes around
them. Equities and options first, more asset classes on the roadmap. I rebuilt the platform from its
original Java codebase with AI agents and load-test it nightly against a thousand followers per block.

iChange & Weight Loss Challenge
Manager, Software Development
A two-sided wellness coaching platform where distributors coached members: nutrition tracking, tasks,
progress, groups, and social accountability. Grew the team from 4 to 25 across three time zones and
rewrote the stack from PHP to Ruby with native iOS and Android apps. Distributors on iChange saw better
retention, recruiting, and sales than those off it. The companion Weight Loss Challenge tracked 1M+
pounds across 12,000+ challenges and ran nine years with no dedicated team.
