AI-powered appraisal review for mortgage lending teams
Co-founded Valara and lead engineering as CTO. Built an AI agent that reads entire appraisal reports and surfaces collateral risks with page-level citations. Reviews that took hours now complete in minutes, with compliance checks against USPAP, GSE, and fair housing standards. Every finding traces back to the exact page, table, and data point.
