Curiosity became a career

My interest in developing automated trading technology led me into programming and web development. That original ambition opened the door to a wider range of technical work.

Over time, that interest evolved into a career developing websites, digital marketing solutions, and business technology. Today, I bring that combination of market experience and software development to independent financial technology projects.
