I’m a fintech founder, compliance specialist, and full-stack developer building technology for communities the financial system forgot. My work sits at the intersection of regulated finance, diaspora communities, and trust-based systems — from digitizing rotating savings circles to fighting financial crimes.
Before I was a founder, I spent a decade in international development across Haiti — managing UN operations, directing community programs, and coordinating humanitarian services. I also investigated anti-bribery and corruption compliance for Fortune 500 clients. That combination — deep community understanding plus formal compliance expertise — is why I build what I build.
