Following his passion for finance, he began his career at Morgan Stanley, where he gained a deep understanding of capital markets and real estate investments.

This journey culminated in the creation of Baseline, a cutting-edge software designed to streamline the entire private lending process. "We built Baseline to empower lenders," Wali states. "Our goal is to provide a seamless, efficient platform that allows them to manage their operations, from loan origination to servicing, with greater ease and accuracy." The software aims to enhance efficiency, improve data management, and ultimately help private lenders scale their businesses. Shaye's narrative serves as a powerful example of how skills honed in one discipline can be successfully transferred to another. His journey from the tennis court to the boardroom highlights the universal importance of focus, the courage to pivot, and the drive to innovate.
