Resume

Principal Profile
I am a FinTech founder and capital markets technologist with over 15+ years of experience building and modernizing institutional financial systems across Tier-1 banks and startups.

My background includes leading large-scale re-platforming initiatives in securities finance, replacing legacy vendor platforms with in-house trading and post-trade systems that delivered multi-million-dollar annual savings, and designing data and security master architectures supporting liquidity, risk, and regulatory reporting.

As Founder of ThinkVest, I am applying this experience to building an institutional-grade marketplace for IP-backed and revenue-based securities, focused on SPV-driven deal structuring, automated underwriting workflows, and compliant secondary market infrastructure.
