( 01 ) — About
Money is complicated.Using itshouldn't be.
Ten years in design, seven of them in fintech. At Cadana I design the payroll, payout and contractor products that move money across Africa and Latin America, for the companies paying people and the people getting paid. I prototype in real code, ship alongside engineers, and judge the work by what it changes.
