I'm building Astrada to make spend data as open and useful as banking data.

Our unified API connects payment transactions directly into finance systems — no receipt uploads, no manual reconciliation, just instant visibility into company spend. We serve B2B platforms like Workday and Payhawk.

After selling Fidel API's loyalty business in 2024, I refocused the company as Astrada to build the data infrastructure that powers modern spend management. Before that, I helped scale Marqeta from early-stage startup to IPO, and led product launches and strategic partnerships at Mastercard.

We’re building Astrada with a lean, high-performing team — pragmatic, fast-moving, and deeply committed to our customers. Our goal is to make real-time spend visibility a universal standard for modern finance teams and the platforms that serve them.
