Key Features
Project Overview
ZeroBase was a real estate investment platform making property investment accessible to everyday investors. As co-founder and CTO, I built the entire technical platform from concept to production, navigating complex fintech regulations while creating an intuitive investment experience.
The Challenge
Fintech platforms face intense regulatory scrutiny. Every feature - from user onboarding to payment processing to investment execution - must comply with SEC regulations, AML requirements, and state-specific rules. Build it wrong and you can’t operate; build it slow and competitors win.
What I Did
As technical co-founder, owned the entire technical stack:
- Platform Architecture: Designed cloud-native architecture optimized for financial workloads with appropriate redundancy and audit capabilities
- Compliance Integration: Implemented automated KYC/AML checks, accreditation verification, and investment limit enforcement
- Payment Infrastructure: Built payment processing with ACH, wire transfers, and proper escrow handling
- Investor Experience: Created portfolio dashboard, document management, and real-time investment tracking
Outcome
Successfully launched platform and processed investments from hundreds of investors across multiple property offerings. The automated compliance system reduced onboarding friction while maintaining regulatory requirements. The architecture proved robust through growth and successfully handled peak investment periods without issues.
