I build banking and payments products, and I've spent 18+ years carrying them from idea to production across the UK, Europe and Asia. Today I lead product at Oracle in the Financial Services Risk and Compliance space, after years heading multi-entity Lending and Supply Chain Finance platforms in a SaaS model. I'm a data-wrangling, ML-curious finisher who likes turning the messy lifecycle of RTGS, SWIFT, SEPA and core banking into products that actually ship.
