About

With over 17 years of experience in software engineering and architecture, I am a fintech entrepreneur and hands-on CTO who specializes in developing and scaling financial services platforms (polyglot). I have a strong background in share trading, payment systems, AWS and microservices, and a passion for innovation. That bit above was mostly written by LinkedIn's AI. But it's true. What it could not write was that I'm looking for my next challenge. After having built stocks trading platforms for large companies like AJ Bell and being very entrepreneurial, I started a journey of building my own startups. Now I'm looking for hands-on roles at highly ambitious companies - preferably a funded startup that's looking to do exciting things and move quickly. Or even a larger company that still wants to think like a startup!
