Saving a Failing Experience
Three years ago, I took over a major bank's mobile application that had a dismal 1.8-star rating on the App Store. Users complained about 30-second login times and an eKYC process that failed 60% of the time.
A Multi-Platform Pipeline
We reimagined the eKYC process as a reactive pipeline, leveraging real-time image processing and server-side OCR to handle poor lighting and varying network conditions.

Lessons in User Trust
