Fintech app development
Surveillance, compliance, lending and investing products with interfaces people trust.
Fintech product design and development
Who this is for
Financial products fail in the interface more often than in the backend: too much data, too little hierarchy, no trust. I design and build fintech apps and dashboards end to end, from the data model to the screens analysts and customers use all day.
Financial teams and founders whose product lives or dies on whether people can read it.
Compliance and surveillance teams that need live alerts and investigation workflows
Lenders and funding platforms turning a multi-product offer into one clear path
Investing, DeFi and crypto products where clarity is the difference between a signup and a bounce
Founders preparing a product and an investor story at the same time
What gets built
Real-time dashboards
Live feeds, alerts, heatmaps and risk taxonomies that stay readable under load.
Compliance and surveillance workflows
Case management, rules libraries, audit trails and regulatory reports.
Onboarding and application flows
Pre-qualification, applications and verification steps that keep people moving.
Treasury, portfolio and NAV views
Fund operations, capital calls and performance made glanceable.
Investor-ready demos
Product and pitch material that tell the same story.
Security
Role based access, audit logs and the documentation financial clients require.
Fintech work
How an engagement runs
01
Scope workshop
A one to two hour session to map users, data and the first release. You get a written scope with the price and the timeline.
02
Design in the open
Clickable designs of the core flows within the first two weeks, reviewed with the people who will use them.
03
Build in releases
Working software every one to two weeks on a staging URL, with your feedback folded into the next release.
04
Launch and hand over
Production deployment, documentation, training and a support window. You own the code and the accounts.
Questions I get asked
What fintech products have you built?
A multi-tenant trading surveillance and compliance platform (Sentinel), an AI native treasury and deal pipeline product for commercial real estate (DealPipe), a platform redesign and investor deck for MCI, consumer DeFi and crypto apps (Lantern Finance, BlockFi) and lending sites (Mimo Funding).
Do you handle compliance requirements?
I build the product side of compliance: role based access, audit trails, rules libraries, alert taxonomies and regulatory reports. Your compliance lead sets the rules; I make them usable.
Can you work with our existing data feeds?
Yes. Market data, banking APIs, Plaid, Stripe and internal databases are wired in with the error handling and reconciliation production needs.
How do you make dense dashboards readable?
Hierarchy first: what the user checks every minute, every hour and every day gets different weight. Then colour as a risk language, not decoration. Then density that matches the role, analyst or lead.
How long does a fintech MVP take?
A scoped first release typically ships in six to ten weeks, with a staging build available from the second week.
Do you design the pitch deck too?
When it helps. For MCI I redesigned the platform and built the investor deck in one engagement so the product and the story matched.
