My One-Pager
✨ Building something new in fintech & web3, specifically giving financial superpowers to global professionals in emerging markets @ parallax.to
💼 Previously product lead @ LinkedIn Jobs, Kumu & Ripcord through the KPCB Product Fellowship. I started the Filip[in]os @ LinkedIn group & was a Women in Product executive member.
🎓 I graduated B.A. Economics, Psychology, Data Analysis from Wesleyan University, Phi Beta Kappa & a summa cum laude. I'm a proud Philippine Science High School scholar.
🇵🇭 I'm most passionate about broadening access through tech in emerging markets like my home, the Philippines & in the rest of S.E. Asia. On the side, I work(ed) on a virtual startup incubator for emerging markets, & launched a fun social card game.
⚡ Nowadays, I'm overloading on coffee & obsessing over payments. Any interesting ideas in web3, fintech and cross-border payments? Send me a note at hello@mikareyes.com.
My Dreams
- Create meaningful impact for women in tech (esp. founders).
- Grow technology economies in emerging markets (especially the Philippines).
