     I'm a co-founder, building in the open banking and developer experience space. apibanking.com is young - for ~2.5 years, we have been developing tech offerings in the financial services space, to solve the friction at the point of integration between traditional banks and the fintech ecosystem. I pursued my undergraduate coursework in Mathematics and Computer Science, and since then, I've spent 5+ years in enterprise technology as a developer as well as a business leader building scale products, and another 5+ years in business building, including product strategy, private equity and venture investments for tech-first players. I have mentored startup founders on product scaling, new market opportunities and fundraising. I'm also exploring angel investing, focusing on next-gen software tech startups.
