👋 Nice to meet you, I'm Jeffrey

CS @ University of Waterloo  |  CEO & Co-Founder @ Andromeda
Jeffrey Jin

I'm a 3rd year Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo. I've worked across finance, PCB design, borders/customs, and payment infrastructure.

What I'm Building

Currently building Andromeda (prev. Wirely, SwiftPay) — AI-native payment infrastructure for autonomous agents. We're creating the financial operating system that lets AI agents make controlled purchases through stablecoins, virtual cards, ACH, and multi-rail payments. Think Stripe/Plaid for agentic commerce.

Previously built Acropolis, a crypto hardware wallet (Jan–Aug 2024).
