About Clarice
Clarice is a self-taught full-stack engineer and veteran day-trader who has built her career on rapid skill acquisition and high-impact execution.

This unique intersection of market expertise and technical capability enabled her to architect Gogi.

Her Interview
Ten minutes with Clarice
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to a mix of relentless curiosity and a willingness to teach myself what I didn't know. Coming from a non-traditional tech background, I had to learn to code simply to solve my own frustrations. That hands-on hustle taught me that the best innovations are born from real necessity, not just theoretical ideas.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I ever got was to stop waiting for permission or for the "perfect" moment to build something. If you see a massive gap in how the world operates, you have to be bold enough to build the solution yourself.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Trust your voice, lean into your unique perspective, and don't be afraid to take up space in male-dominated rooms. Your fresh outlook is exactly what these industries need to evolve.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Right now, we have this incredible opportunity to open the doors to powerful financial AI and make it accessible to everyone. But to get people there, we have to tackle the hurdle of education and trust. It reminds me a lot of when personal computers first came out—so many people were terrified or skeptical of them at first, but once they learned how useful they were, computers changed our entire world.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
For me, it always comes down to empowerment and integrity. I genuinely believe that advanced financial technology should be a tool for everyday people, not just a luxury for big institutions. In both business and life, I prioritize transparency and building things with a real, positive human purpose.
