Cost Savings

Surfaced $8MM+ for one institution — as measured by a $2MM+ reserve release, $1MM+ in annual recurring savings, and a $6MM+ revenue leak recovered over four years — by rebuilding a card rewards reserve from real cardholder behavior and reconciling interchange income line by line against contract terms.

#M&A  #DUE DILIGENCE  #INTEGRATION

Acquisition & Integration

Took an acquisition from diligence to a clean set of books — as measured by a 300+ agent brokerage moving $1.7B+ a year in sales volume, folded onto our reporting calendar and into the consolidated statements, and office-level performance metrics built on top — by running the on-site due diligence and owning the accounting integration after close.

Investment Performance Dashboard

Delivered institution-grade portfolio reporting no brokerage provides — as measured by monthly returns benchmarked against SPY and QQQ, options income tracked to the dollar, and four account types consolidated into one view — by building a self-hosted Python system on the Schwab API.

Learn Money. Earn a Future.

Turning financial literacy into real savings for ages 14–25 — measured in actual dollars earned toward a college fund, vocational training, or a head start on retirement — by building a gamified platform where challenges, streaks, and milestones pay out real money. Not badges. Not gift cards.
