Tradier is a FINTECH company that operates an online trading platform for options and other financial investments. The company's platform is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, allowing traders of all experience levels to trade confidently and efficiently.
The company was planning to launch a new crypto investment platform and initially hired me to build out this new platform. Along the way they decided to overhaul their current website to align more with the updated look and feel of their brokerage platform.
