After starting my career as a software engineer, I soon enough found myself entrenched at the heart of The Great Financial Crisis, serving as the head trader for Subprime, HELOC, and Closed End Seconds at Countrywide. After Bank of America acquired Countrywide, I helped with the transition, but soon grew bored and unfulfilled. In 2011, a handful of mortgage experts and aspiring entrepreneurs, including myself, started a journey that would begin with departing Bank of America to co-found a groundbreaking mortgage finance company in 2013. This endeavor, eventually named AmeriHome, grew into the second largest correspondent lender and fourth largest mortgage lender in the Nation, providing ~$70 billion in liquidity annually at its peak to mortgage banks across the Nation.From humble beginnings of folding tables and extension cords, we grew into a force employing over 1,000 individuals across multiple states. Our journey encompassed the transformation from net loss to profitability, from on-premises tech closets to co-locations and the cloud. We weathered great markets and turbulent ones, witnessing both business expansions and contractions, culminating in the successful sale of our company for $1.2 billion.My journey has been marked by myriad experiences straddling business, finance, trading, operations, software engineering, data, and quantitative analytics. Now, I am poised to leverage these experiences to empower businesses and society alike. There's an abundance yet to explore, and I am committed to utilizing my expertise to foster success on a broader scale.Stay tuned.d.a.
