My expertise spans the fintech stack: fraud prevention, payment processing, digital wallets, KYC flows, and secure user authentication. I'm passionate about solving complex problems at the intersection of security, scale, and user experience. Previously built wallet and payment solutions at UnDosTres, including cashback systems and multi-card payment flows. Graduated from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology in 2020.
