My Role

End-to-end product and engineering (solo): defined scope, designed UX, implemented data syncing and local storage, shipped ongoing releases, and maintained compatibility across account types.

Key Highlights
  • Switch between Managed, Self-Directed, and Cash accounts to view estimated yearly dividends and interest payouts

  • Monthly breakdown of dividend and interest payments

  • Detailed payout history with filters (account types, specific accounts, securities)

  • One-click export for Cash account transactions (with expansion planned for other account types)

  • Privacy-first: all data stored locally in the browser; no collection or transmission to external services

    Help Wealthsimple users track dividend and interest income in one place
