FinTech

Getting into fintech

I went from developer experiences and automation to FinTech, which was a major industry shift. In my last 1.5 years in FinTech, I've had to develop products, perspectives, and market trends in FinTech between the US and Europe. I've now worked across the crypto vertical focusing on developer experiences in compliance, fraud, and payments. Here are some resources that helped me get started!
