Wink is Costa Rica's first neobank: a mobile app for banking without a branch visit. I built the first version of the app and the AWS backend it depended on.

I chose the stack, planned the work, and coordinated partner-bank API integration. I also implemented biometric authentication so KYC and login did not need a branch visit.

Launch required forming a development team that did not exist yet.

Achievements

  1. Developed the first version of Wink's mobile banking app.
  2. Integrated partner-bank APIs so deposits, transfers, and account data could move through the app.
  3. Built biometric KYC with a React Native native bridge.
