Making Financial Management More Accessible for Everyone
In this week’s episode of the Penny Forward Podcast, hosts Chris Peterson and Liz Bottner sit down with Andrew Babin, co-developer of HaloFi, a new voice-controlled money management app built with accessibility at its core.
Andrew shares his journey with Stargardt’s disease, his unexpected career pivot from construction to finance, and how those experiences inspired him to design HaloFi—a tool that merges AI and voice technology to make managing money easier and more inclusive for people with vision loss.
