Founder & Engineer
Lead engineer with 8+ years in fintech, now going independent and building Inbox Ledger.

His view is simple: finance teams still lose hours every week to manual invoice and receipt work that software should have automated long ago, and closing that gap is what Inbox Ledger is for.
