• person_pinAbout me

    I'm working at the forefront of financial technologies, bringing financial inclusion and literacy to everybody. I believe that an open standard accompanied by technology will disrupt the financial landscape we face to today. Designing solutions that are able to scale into the millions, that are accessible to everybody, and open for innovation will allow the inclusion of currently untapped people, bringing them back into the economy.

    Today's solutions and technologies are made for people already part of the economy, providing valued added services to ease their lives. This approach still has a blind spot, the billions of people who don't have access to the economy at all. It is my goal to create a solution that is open to include everybody, and to design services that help everybody to gain financial literacy.
