With over a decade of experience as a software engineer, Derek combines deep technical expertise with a careful, user-focused approach to product development. He has spent his career building scalable platforms across financial services, commerce, and payments.

His career has taken him through Morgan Stanley, where he led the development of a real-time trading data aggregation platform, Shopify, where he designed and shipped the public Partner API, and Stripe, where he works on onboarding and account experiences. That breadth has shaped a strong instinct for what makes software trustworthy: clear interfaces, careful handling of sensitive data, and an eye for the details that make a process feel professional.

At AccountingHub, Derek leads the technology and product side of the platform. His focus is on building tools that make practice transitions more transparent and efficient for accounting professionals, while holding the experience to the standards of confidentiality, accuracy, and craft that the work demands.
