About

I'm Adam. I specialize in Stripe Connect and multi-party, B2B2C marketplace payments. These are the systems that move money between more than two parties and have to reconcile to the cent.

I'm based in Los Angeles, California, USA.

What I do

I help teams design, build, and fix multi-party payment systems on Stripe Connect, the parts of a product that move money and have to stay correct. Most teams underestimate how much complexity lives between more than two parties until it bites them: who owns a negative balance, what a refund does to a fee you already took, how the ledger stays reconciled when money is split and paid out. That's the work I do.

What I've built

I architected and shipped a full B2B2C healthcare marketplace from the ground up, end to end on Stripe Connect. That covered the parts that are genuinely hard to get right: connected accounts and onboarding, split payments, payouts, negative balances, disputes, transfers, and a ledger that ties out to the penny. It's the kind of money movement other companies spend serious time and money getting to work reliably.

I'd rather show it than oversell it, so I'm happy to walk through the details on a call.

Why work with me

I didn't come to Stripe Connect from the docs. I spent years consulting for a marketplace company, fighting money movement through custodial accounts and older processors like Authorize.Net, until I got tired of the workarounds and built the whole platform myself, partly out of frustration and partly to prove it could be done cleanly. It could, and it was more elegant than anything we'd patched together before.

What I bring: not someone who's memorized the Connect API, but someone who gets money flows right in a B2B2C context and finds the right answer when the problem is new. Earlier work across healthcare and other regulated industries kept me under HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2, so compliance-heavy money movement is familiar ground, not a surprise.

How I work

I care most about the unglamorous reliability work: idempotency, reconciliation, scaling and handling edge cases. That's what separates a demo from a system you can put real money through. Every engagement starts with a free call to confirm it's a fit before anything is committed.

If you'd rather see how I think before we talk, I write about this: funds flow, reconciliation, and the Connect edge cases that bite.
