💫 About Me

Coding

I'm Zaria Software Engineer, FoundHER, and Builder of tech that actually serves women.

My Mission: Create a portfolio of women-first applications that become household names. From financial literacy to data privacy, I'm building the tech ecosystem we deserve.

Currently: Starting development on Fundlish, the AI-powered financial literacy platform teaching women worldwide to master money and build generational wealth.

Philosophy: Financial freedom isn't a privilege; it's a birthright. Period tracking shouldn't surveil you. Budget apps should respect your intelligence. Love is a science. Travel planning should prioritize safety.

The Goal: Bring women to the forefront of tech, one thoughtfully designed application at a time.



💰 Fundlish

Financial Freedom for Every Woman

The Problem

  • 78% of women weren't taught about money growing up
  • Women earn 82¢ to men's dollar and live 6-8 years longer with less retirement savings
  • Financial education is male-dominated and inaccessible
  • Generic advice ignores cultural contexts and women's unique challenges

My Solution

An AI-powered platform that meets women exactly where they are—providing personalized, culturally-aware financial education that actually works.
