EVP, Engineering at Laurel Road - We're Hiring!

Joined Laurel Road as a founding team member in 2014, subsequently building our core products from concept to scale. 

Our technology founding principles were simple - build the world's best consumer lending platforms by (1) Obsessing with the customer experience (2) Reinventing the operator experience and (3) Building an incredible developer experience. 

We successfully accomplished our founding goals, and built a successful business in the process - adding over 200 teammates who powered our platforms to originate >$10bn in loans. We sold Laurel Road to KeyCorp in 2019.

Townswer aggregated data from social media to provide answers on the links between schools and careers. Our data helped: Educational institutions map alumni success for marketing purposes; Parents decide between school districts & houses; Students decide between colleges based on career aspirations.

Due to legal issues surrounding Townswer data usage, the algorithms were pivoted to form Qriocity. Qriocity is a Bloomberg enabled machine learning tool to simplify asset allocation decisions for fund/portfolio managers. Applying proprietary machine learning models, I developed a methodology for yield enhancement strategies, fund-of-fund allocation decisions, and efficient frontier calculations. 

After a successful pivot, Qriocity was sold to a private investment group.
