About Aureline Forge
We're an independent North American product and integration studio built to make financial infrastructure more understandable, adaptable, and human-centered.
Why we started
Financial systems are broken not because they're complex—that complexity often serves a purpose—but because the people who need them don't understand them, and the people who built them don't understand the humans.
We started Aureline Forge because we believed we could build better. Not "better" meaning cutting corners or moving faster at any cost. Better meaning systems that honor both the complexity and the people. Better meaning modernization without recklessness. Better meaning clarity at scale.
How we work
Clear thinking
We ask hard questions early and design with constraints as features, not obstacles.
Responsible delivery
We know financial systems matter. We over-communicate, over-test, and build with security and reliability as first-class concerns.
Productive collaboration
We work embedded with your team. We care about your success more than our billable hours.
The team
Six people with deep experience in fintech, systems integration, and meaningful product design. We learn from every project and every person we work with.
Maya Ellison
Founder & Product Strategy Lead
Founded Aureline Forge after leading product at a fintech infrastructure company. Believes financial systems succeed when they become invisible to users.
Daniel Brooks
Principal Integration Architect
Two decades integrating legacy systems with modern platforms. Specializes in API-first architecture and incremental migration strategies that reduce operational risk.
Priya Nanduri

Built delivery practices at three fintech startups and a digital bank. Focuses on sustainable velocity, transparent communication, and on-time shipping.
Owen Hartwell
Staff Fintech Engineer
Built payment systems, ledgers, and trading platforms. Known for pragmatic system design and mentoring teams through complex technical decisions.
Camille Reyes
Experience Design Lead
Previously designed products for a lender and a crypto exchange. Advocates for accessibility-first design and user research at every stage.
Jordan Whitaker
Security & Reliability Lead
Managed security and observability infrastructure at a digital bank. Believes security is a feature, not a tax, and reliability is earned through practice.
What we value
Clarity
We ask difficult questions. We say no when we need to. We document decisions and teach people, not just build features.
Ownership
We don't hand off to operations. We don't disappear after launch. We build things we're proud to support in production.
Collaboration
Financial systems are made by teams. We listen more than we talk. We teach and learn from every person we work with.
Let's build together
Whether you're exploring an idea or executing a transformation, we'd like to learn about what you're building.
