πŸ‘” Work Experience

Growth Acceleration Partners (current)

  • In a cross-team collaboration, developed the Expense Tracking feature for the ZenBusiness mobile app. This caused a 10x increase in active users who could now categorize their expenses on the go. As part of the GraphQL layer, I was one of the main links between the Fintech and Mobile teams.

  • Avid bug fixer: Complimented and responsible for helping solve over a 100 triage tickets.
