I am excited to be part of a new team at Allstate, dedicated to a ground-up reconstruction of both existing and new services. Our goal is to forge a versatile ecosystem of shared services, designed for seamless integration across multiple consumer-facing product offerings. This initiative not only focuses on enhancing user experience but also emphasizes the adaptability and reusability of our solutions within Allstate's diverse portfolio.

I am the proud founder and creator of a modern SaaS web-app, specializing in budgeting and portfolio management. This project was a comprehensive endeavor where I developed the core technology using React and Java, designed an intuitive UI and logo, and integrated Plaid for secure account linking. My role encompassed all aspects of the platform - from managing deployments and backend services to crafting the frontend experience, including the landing page, feature design, and architecture.This app empowers users to track their spending at favorite stores, set and manage investment portfolio targets, and view real-time stock quotes of their portfolio holdings, offering a comprehensive financial management experience. The platform includes a full suite of user functionalities like registration flows, login, password recovery, and a subscription and payment system. It's a testament to my passion for delivering holistic solutions in the fintech space.

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Finance and Risk team at Avail Car Sharing, an Allstate subsidiary, I specialized in advancing our backend RESTful API services in both development and design of new features. My focus was on providing a smooth user experience in all things finance as well as minimizing risk by implementing measures to prevent risky users from accessing our platform.
